New Delhi [India]: Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president Chirag Paswan on Tuesday said that he will contest the next Lok Sabha polls in 2024 from the Hajipur constituency in Bihar.
“I definitely say that I will contest the Lok Sabha elections from Hajipur only. It is not right to share the talks that took place with the BJP on a public platform but it is certain that Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will contest the Lok Sabha election from Hajipur,” Chirag Paswan told media.
“I don’t think that there is a big challenge in Bihar because the credibility of Nitish Kumar ji has come under question mark due to change of alliance regularly” he added.

Meanwhile, present Hajipur MP and RLJP chief and Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras said, “His (Chirag’s) claim of contesting from Hajipur is baseless.
