Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan on Thursday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, attributing the BJP-led NDA alliance’s victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha election to Modi’s leadership.
“My PM is going to be the Prime Minister of the country for the third time. All NDA leaders met yesterday. Nobody can deny that this victory of the NDA is the victory of the Prime Minister’s leadership”, said Paswan, the Lok Sabha MP-elect from Bihar’s Hajipur constituency.
“Sometimes, we set such a huge target for ourselves that if there is even a little lapse, questions start being raised. In reality, it is no ordinary thing that the NDA has received the mandate for the third time. In yesterday’s meeting, all NDA allies accepted his leadership once again without any conditions.”
Responding to speculation about him becoming a cabinet minister in the BJP-led NDA government, Paswan said, “My goal was clear, to make my Prime Minister the PM of the country for the third time. Today, the biggest reason for me to rejoice is that we are going to achieve this goal. Who becomes a part of the government and who doesn’t, who becomes a minister and who doesn’t is not the priority of any of the allies.”
“I hear on media channels that he demanded this or demanded that, but nobody did. In the NDA meeting yesterday, we once again accepted the leadership of PM.”
Chirag Paswan also lauded his party’s performance in Bihar and credited party workers and allies for the 100 percent strike rate of his party.
