National President of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Chirag Paswan is in Patna. On Saturday, on the occasion of Independence Day, he is also holding a state executive meeting of the party after the flag hoisting at the party office in Patna. These days, his sudden visit to Patna due to his altercation with the Janata Dal United (JDU) supremo and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and tension between the two parties is giving rise to many speculations. It is believed that the state executive meeting will also discuss the relationship with JDU with the Bihar Assembly Election election. The LJP may withdraw support from the Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar.

Chirag Paswan suddenly reached Patna on Friday. Party workers were not allowed to engage until their arrival. Party leaders said that this was done due to Corona so that the crowd of workers did not gather in the airport premises.

Chirag Paswan suddenly arrived in Patna during the Corona period. There is a lot of controversy in the political corridor about his statement and tweet. They are continuously speaking against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. In particular, it is possible to discuss LJP`s relationship with JDU in the LJP`s abruptly convened state executive meeting. As Chirag Paswan arrived, on Friday evening, the discussion spread that on Saturday he could withdraw his support from the Bihar government. However, the LJP has officially denied it. The LJP is meeting at the party office on Saturday from 10 am.

Chirag, who arrived in Patna, said that he is not criticizing the government, but is passing the talk of the public to the Chief Minister. Chirag said that he was not targeting anyone with his tweet. They are talking about the public.

It may be known that two days ago, Chirag Paswan was given the analogy of Kalidas by JDU parliamentary party leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh in the Lok Sabha, saying that they are cutting the dal on which they are sitting. It was also said that they are in the role of opposition. After this, LJP leaders started making statements against Lalan Singh. After this, the tension in the relationship of the two parties has reached a peak. However, reacting to this, Chirag said that Lalan Singh is as a guardian, so he would not say anything against him.

Chirag may have called Lalan Singh a guardian upon reaching Patna, but according to the news agency PTI, he spoke to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Zapper Nadda (JP Nadda) in Delhi before coming to Patna. LJP says Lallan Singh made fun of Paswan`s tweet, in which he praised Prime Minister Modi`s plea to Nitish Kumar, along with other chief ministers, to step up the investigation into Corona.

Possible withdrawal of support from Nitish government

According to the news agency PTI, an LJP leader has said that Lalan Singh has insulted the Prime Minister, so the party can withdraw support from the Nitish government. With the LJP having only two MLAs in the 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly, the withdrawal of this support will not have any effect on the government, but it will definitely spoil the relationship between the two BJP allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state.
