Bihar is a key state in North India’s dynamic political environment, with its capital Patna and the surrounding city of Hajipur playing important roles. Hajipur, which is considered a holy city and is home to the revered Ramchaura Temple, Kaun Hara Ghat, and Nepali Temple. However in addition to its spiritual significance, Hajipur has grown to be a significant centre of political activity, especially in light of Ram Vilas Paswan’s legacy and the increasing popularity of his son Chirag Paswan.
Rising Star: Chirag Paswan
In Bihar’s political scene, Chirag Paswan, the leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has become a powerful force. Under his strong leadership, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) accomplished an incredible achievement in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections: winning all five seats it fought in Bihar, demonstrating a 100% success record. In addition to securing Chirag Paswan’s place in Bihar politics, this incredible win brought his father Ram Vilas Paswan’s legacy back to life.
The Legacy of Ram Vilas Paswan
Since 1977, Ram Vilas Paswan, a renowned Dalit politician and the creator of the Lok Janshakti Party, has played a significant role in Hajipur’s political landscape. He was known for his leadership and commitment while serving as the Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency’s representative several times. But in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he gave his brother Pashupati Paras the Hajipur seat because of health concerns. Two factions were formed inside the party as a result of this transition.
The Challenge and Triumph of Chirag Paswan
Chirag Paswan experienced several difficulties after the separation. He showed resiliency in the face of the internal divide by launching widespread campaigns throughout Bihar to win over the public and restore his position as the party’s leader. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, his unwavering efforts paid off when the party led by him secured all five challenged seats: Khagaria, Hajipur, Samastipur, Jamui, and Vaishali. As a result of his overwhelming win in the Hajipur seat, Chirag Paswan further cemented his place in Bihar politics.
Rejoining the NDA
Chirag Paswan received incorporation into the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) along with his group of the Lok Janshakti Party by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) upon realising his potential and his steadfast dedication to his father’s legacy. With all five of the Lok Janshakti Party’s candidates winning in the 2024 elections, this strategic cooperation played a major role in the party’s triumph.
A Bright Political Future
The outcome of the 2024 election is evidence of Chirag Paswan’s capacity to lead and carry on his father’s legacy. Chirag Paswan has secured a strong position in Bihar politics and created a bright future for the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) with a 100% strike rate in the contested seats.
