Chirag Paswan Slams RJD Over Muslim Representation
Ahead of the next assembly elections, Chirag Paswan, the leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), has taken a strong stance against the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), claiming that it is failing to provide Muslims in Bihar with adequate political representation.
Chirag Paswan emphasized that, in spite of assurances, the community is still not given genuine leadership positions but is instead being treated as a voting bloc. He brought up the 2005 elections, pointing out that his late father, Ram Vilas Paswan, had given up his own party to back a Muslim chief minister, but the decision had been disregarded. Paswan’s critique serves as a reminder that voices should be respected in politics, not just heard.
In a post on X, Paswan referred to the 2005 elections, saying his father and LJP founder, the late Ram Vilas Paswan, “sacrificed even his own party to make a Muslim Chief Minister,” but the RJD did not support the move. He alleged that RJD remains unwilling to give Muslims a fair share in power. Paswan added, “If you remain a bonded vote bank, how will you get respect and participation?”
Earlier, Paswan slammed the Mahagathbandhan over its leadership picks, accusing the alliance of treating Muslims merely as a vote bank. Speaking to reporters, he said, “For them, Muslims are just their vote bank. Muslims should understand this and the schemes provided by our government are aimed at providing benefits to all.”
