Patna (Bihar) [India], October 25 (ANI): As the Bihar election comes closer, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Kishan on Saturday praised the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leadership, asserting that there is no difference between the words and actions of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The BJP leader extended his warm greetings to the people of Bihar on the occasion of Chhath, wishing for the state's accelerated progress.
Speaking to ANI in Patna, Kishan said, "I extend my heartfelt best wishes to all the people of Bihar for Chhath. May Chhath Maa bless everyone... May the progress of Bihar increase by four times after 14th November... Whatever Nitish Kumar says, he will never lie. There is no difference between the words and actions of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar..."
Meanwhile, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Chirag Paswan has taken sharp aim at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), accusing it of failing to give Muslims meaningful political representation in Bihar in the upcoming assembly elections.
This comes after Mahagathbandhan announced RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as its Chief Minister candidate and VIP supremo Mukesh Sahani as its Deputy Chief Minister candidate.
In a post on X, Paswan referred to the 2005 Bihar assembly elections, saying his father and LJP founder, the late Ram Vilas Paswan, "sacrificed even his own party to make a Muslim Chief Minister," but RJD did not support the move.
He alleged that RJD was not willing to support a Muslim CM then and is still not willing to give them a fair share in power.
"In 2005, my leader, my father, the late Ram Vilas Paswan ji sacrificed even his own party to make a Muslim Chief Minister - yet even then, you did not support him. RJD was not ready for a Muslim Chief Minister even in 2005, and today in 2025, it is neither ready to give a Muslim Chief Minister nor a Deputy Chief Minister!" Paswan posted on X. (ANI)
