Paswan had come out with his new salvo a day after announcing that his party had “ideological differences” with the JD (U) and will not contest the next assembly elections as part of the NDA.
However, he promised to facilitate the formation of a “BJP-led government” in Bihar.
In his evocative open letter, Paswan, whose father and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan had floated the party nearly two decades ago, evocatively said that “we don’t have much time to lose. It is a matter of life and death. for 120 million biharis “.
“Every vote in favor of a JD (U) candidate will condemn their children to forced migration.”
The JD (U), which has been caught off guard by LJP’s risky policy, reacted with outrage and issued a statement that is likely to cut to the bone.
“He has embarked on his political journey under the shadow of his father. He doesn’t have a position of his own. He doesn’t understand the issues that matter on the ground.”
“It is a fact that in the politics of the dynasty, people end up harboring great ambitions without making many contributions,” said JD (U) spokesman Rajiv Ranjan Prasad.
Prasad said Paswan junior will face “his real test in the Bihar elections. The mandate will make him realize how much support he enjoys at the grassroots level. The people of Bihar are not going to be swayed by his talk.”
The development roadmap prepared by Nitish Kumar, which transformed Bihar previously considered a failed state, is unparalleled, Prasad said.
Kumar has the support of the people of Bihar, who will once again pour out their blessings on him, he added.
The LJP chief, who pledges allegiance to the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, had been displaying a note of dissent against Nitish Kumar since launching the “Bihar First Bihari First” campaign in March.
But he had to abort the campaign midway due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the assured shutdown.
Paswan, however, continued to attack the state government, pointing out that his party supported him without being his part, and questioned the Chief Minister’s handling of the migration crisis.
Before announcing the severance of ties with the JD (U), the LJP had said that it was committed to ensuring the implementation of Chirag Paswans “Bihar First Bihari First vision document” and ridiculed the second part of Nitish Kumars saat nishchay (seven resolves ).
Through the seven proposed Resolve-IIs, the head of JD (U) has sought to show his achievements so far as well as give an idea of the direction he intends to take, if he is elected to power for the fourth consecutive term.
