As the political atmosphere heats up in Bihar, speculations are rising regarding Chirag Paswan, the leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and a central minister, contesting in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for October-November this year. Arun Bharti, a party leader and MP, has publicly endorsed this move, describing it as a collective demand from the grassroots level. Bharti stated on social media that Paswan has consistently emphasized that his political focus is centered on Bihar, with a vision of 'Bihar First, Bihari First' aimed at creating a developed and self-reliant Bihar. He believes this can only be achieved if Paswan leads from within the state.

Bharti further elaborated that during his visits as the state in-charge, he encountered a unanimous call from the public urging Chirag to take on a significant role in Bihar. Recently, a resolution was passed unanimously in a party executive meeting advocating for Paswan to contest in the forthcoming assembly elections. Additionally, there is a strong sentiment among party workers that he should run from a general seat rather than a reserved one, signaling his readiness to lead not just a specific community but all of Bihar.

He emphasized that Chirag Paswan is not merely a representative but a beacon of hope for the entire state. This initiative is expected to steer the politics of social justice in a new direction, advocating for both representation and universal acceptance. Bharti also questioned why the scope should be limited when the leader represents all of Bihar. The consensus among party members is clear: Paswan should contest from a general seat, reinforcing his position as a leader for everyone in Bihar.

As the 2025 Bihar assembly elections approach, the political landscape is becoming increasingly dynamic, with many pondering whether Chirag Paswan could become the Chief Minister. The emergence of posters online proclaiming 'Bihar needs Chirag as CM' has intensified discussions about his potential candidacy. Although Paswan has denied any personal ambitions for the top position, his actions suggest otherwise.

This speculation gained momentum when the party proposed that he contest from a 'general seat' instead of a reserved one. Furthermore, the announcement of the Lok Janshakti Party's (LJP) 'Naw Sankalp Sabha' in Ara on June 8 aims to rally support for Paswan's campaign for the 2025 elections. This event is anticipated to showcase Chirag's leadership and vision for Bihar, potentially setting the stage for a robust electoral performance.
