Prashant Kishor should announce Chirag Paswan as the Chief Minister\u2026 Everyone knows that if they win even a few seats, it will cause trouble for the JDU and trouble for Nitish ji.

Prashant Kishor should announce Chirag Paswan as the Chief Minister\u2026 Everyone knows that if they win even a few seats, it will cause trouble for JDU,\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fVHQsqnaDc\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/fVHQsqnaDc<\/a>\u2014 ANI (@ANI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ANI\/status\/1949390714971804149?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The Purnia MP\u2019s remarks came a day after Paswan lashed out his ally Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state saying that he feels \u201csad and ashamed to support&#8221; the government under the current situation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">With elections in Bihar looming later this year, Chirag\u2019s blunt criticism has caused ripples within the ruling alliance.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">While speaking to the reporters in Patna, the Union Minister expressed anguish and accused its ally government of failing to curtail the rising crime rate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">\u201cI feel sad that I am supporting such a government here. It is imperative to control it, or else the consequences will be very bad,&#8221; he said as quoted by news agency <em>ANI<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">With assembly elections approaching, Paswan acknowledged the possibility of crimes being orchestrated to defame the government. However, he emphasised that it is still the administration\u2019s responsibility to maintain law and order.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">\u201cI have heard claims that the recent spurt in violent crimes is linked to the upcoming assembly polls, and there are attempts to defame this government. Still, it is the responsibility of the administration to keep law and order under control,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">He further attacked the government and said, \u201cEither the administration is in collusion with it or the administration has become completely useless and now it is beyond their power to keep Bihar and Biharis safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">Amid the criticism, Union Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi urged Chirag Paswan to remain with the NDA and work to strengthen it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">\u201cWe are in NDA. We have to help NDA. We wish him all the best. He should strengthen the NDA,&#8221; said Manjhi.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">Referring to Paswan\u2019s approach during the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, Manjhi said, \u201cIf he does not adopt the 2020 policy, it will be a very good thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Earlier, Prashant Kishor had reiterated that Jan Suraaj would not field any \u201cbaahubalis&#8221; or candidates with questionable backgrounds. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\">There is no place for any \u2018Baahubali\u2019 in Jan Suraaj, be it gun, money, liquor, sand or political \u2018Baahubali\u2019. The children of common people will contest in Jan Suraaj,&#8221; Kishor told reporters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\">A high-stakes battle is expected in Bihar, where the NDA, which includes Janata Dal (United) led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will face the Mahagathbandhan. The opposition alliance includes Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Left parties.<\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\"><em>(With inputs from ANI)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-2025-06-421898aac7df12606d3395094d8b8840.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shobhit-gupta-28018.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shobhit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shobhit Gupta is a sub-editor at News18.com and covers India and International news.
