Union minister of of Food Processing Industries and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president, Chirag Paswan, on Sunday said that his party will contest the Jharkhand polls.
"Lok Janshakti Party Ram Vilas- we are working to move forward with all kinds of options. In the options, where on one hand there is a thought of contesting the elections under the alliance, on the other hand the party is also considering fighting alone. Lok Janshakti Party Ram Vilas had a strong mass base in Jharkhand," he said.
When I was born, at that time Bihar Jharkhand was only one state. In such a situation, this is also my birthplace. It has also been my father's 'Karmabhoomi'. Lok Janshakti Party Ram Vilas has also prepared a strong mass base organization here in recent years. In such a situation, the party has definitely decided that the party will contest the elections. Now whether the party contests the elections under the alliance or contests alone discussions are going on on all the issues at the moment. I think by the time the notification comes, this will also be finalized," he added.
On Tamil Nadu Minister & DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin appointed as the Dy CM, BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said, "This is the Parivarvad which PM Modi speaks about. MK Stalin promoted and made his son Udhayanidhi Stalin the Dy CM. There is no merit except being the CM's son... All of them are only focused on family interests, not the interests of the country. This is why they were rejected as an alliance. The youth of India is watching. On one hand, the PM spoke on the Red Fort and gave a call that 1000 youngsters without any experience or family background in politics should enter politics to serve the country. On the other hand, you have INDI alliance which is only focusing on looting."
