Chirag Paswan Knocking All Doors For Support?

Chirag Paswan is fervently seeking alliances as he prepares for his ambition to become the next Chief Minister of the state. In a surprising turn of events, the BJP has chosen not to rally behind him, leaving him feeling disheartened. In search of support, he made his way to Nitish Kumar, who was convening with two trusted bureaucrats during the meeting source says. With a blend of hope and determination, Chirag presented his vision to the Chief Minister. However, Kumar offered a pragmatic piece of advice, suggesting that Chirag should focus on his current role within the central government, just as his father had done throughout his illustrious career. 

The seasoned leader encouraged him to embrace the prestige of being a cabinet minister at such a young age and to utilize this position to uplift the people of the state through central programs source says. Unfulfilled by the conversation with the Chief Minister, Chirag approached Lallan Singh to pursue a similar objective. During their discussion, he confidently asserted his intention to contest at least 50 seats in the upcoming elections.

However, Lallan Singh countered with a sobering reality: the ruling coalition was prepared to allocate only 20 seats to Chirag's party—split evenly between the BJP and JD(U) quotas.  Feeling the weight of these limitations, Chirag reached out to P K, seeking assistance reminiscent of the last elections. He aimed to contest a staggering 200 seats, hoping to create significant upheaval for the JD(U) and reshape the political landscape in his favour source says.
