He supported the LJP(RV) candidate when he went to vote. In Alauli, where I vote, I supported JD(U) candidate. This shows that those were misleading regarding JD(U) and LJP(RV) were just setting false narrative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">However, when asked who the alliance would project as Chief Minister, the LJP (RV) leader chose to evade the question.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#WATCH<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BiharElection2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#BiharElection2025<\/a> | Patna: After meeting CM Nitish Kumar, Union Minister and LJP(RV) chief Chirag Paswan says, \u201cI met the CM, congratulated him and extended him best wishes.
