Lok Sabha Poll 2024: Pashupati Paras quits as Union Minister over seat sharing in Bihar

LJP President Pashupati Kumar Paras

New Delhi: Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) President Pashupati Kumar Paras announced his resignation from Modi cabinet over seat sharing in Bihar on Tuesday. 

This comes a day after the BJP confirmed a seat-share deal with the LJP of Mr Paras' nephew, Chirag Paswan.

The BJP-LJP deal - part of a broader arrangement within Bihar for next month's Lok Sabha election - sees Mr Paras' party completely sidelined; the RLJP was given zero seats while Mr Paswan's LJP was allotted five, including the Hajipur constituency won by his uncle in the 2019 election.
