Chirag Paswan, the top leader of the Lok Janshakti Party, is giving a new definition to the growing disparity between BJP and Nitish. Chirag, despite being an NDA partner, will field his candidates against Nitish’s JDU candidates, but not against BJP candidates. If this happens, then the chances of JDU candidates winning the election may be hurt. Sources reveal that Chirag’s campaign is supported by the BJP from inside. Even though Nitish’s JDU is contesting on more seats than BJP in the state, it is certain that the BJP can stake its claim for the post of Chief Minister if BJP wins more assembly seats than JDU. Nitish has also brought Jitan Ram Manjhi with him as a strong hand against Paswan, but Manjhi does not have as much penetration among the Dalit voters of the state as compared to Paswan and only half a dozen seats are said to be impacted. The senior Paswan has also openly supported the stand of his son Chirag and Nitish, inspite of knowing everything, remains unaware.
