The posters were prominently placed near the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Patna and featured messages projecting Chirag Paswan as a strong contender for the chief minister’s post. Along with the show of support, the posters also carried an appeal for peace, urging people to maintain harmony and avoid riots or unrest. Earlier, Paswan he Chief of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and Union Minister, has refuted ongoing discussions regarding a potential leadership change in Bihar. He emphasized that current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will remain in his position, asserting that the existing government is functioning effectively. Paswan stated, “There is no discussion on changing the Chief Minister. Nitish Kumar will continue to lead Bihar, and our double-engine government is working well.”

Addressing rumors concerning the political involvement of Nitish Kumar’s son, Nishant Kumar, Paswan remarked that any decision regarding his entry into politics is a personal one. He explained that it is not worthwhile to speculate on his potential political participation, as he has not previously engaged in public life. “This is his choice, his family’s choice, and his party’s choice. When this decision is made known to our alliance, I will speak on it,” Paswan added. He further expressed encouragement for youth participation in politics, reaffirming that the Prime Minister also supports such engagement.

While clarifying his stance on the leadership issue, Union Minister Chirag Paswan also mentioned that the fifth candidate from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections has not yet been determined. He noted that talks within the alliance have been ongoing for some time, and as the elections approach, they are finalizing candidates. “Discussions are still ongoing,” he stated, while congratulating newly nominated BJP candidate Nitin Nabin for his forthcoming responsibilities.
