Chirag Paswan Meets Nitish Kumar Amid Political Speculation

Political Meeting Draws Attention

Chirag Paswan met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after the NDA alliance won a clear victory in the Bihar Assembly elections. Paswan visited Nitish Kumar's residence to congratulate him on the alliance winning a fifth consecutive term. The images of the meeting went viral as he shared them on social media. The meeting has become a point of interest in state politics with discussions still continuing on the role of leaders within the alliance.

Speculation Over Deputy CM Position

Paswan said his visit was only to congratulate the Chief Minister for the strong mandate. Political speculation, however, is that he might be interested in the post of Deputy Chief Minister. The good performance by LJP (Ram Vilas) in the election results has given a boost to the discussion. Sources also claimed that during the meeting, Paswan and Nitish Kumar could have talked on this issue.

Election Results Strengthen NDA Alliance

LJP (Ram Vilas), who was able to hold just one seat five years ago, performed far better this time around as it managed to win 19 seats. Chirag Paswan is credited for playing an important role in this improved performance by the party.
