Locked in a tussle with uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras over the control of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), Chirag Paswan is set to hold a roadshow (called 'Ashirvaad Yatra') in Bihar starting Monday. He will begin the roadshow from Hajipur, the constituency Chirag's father and LJP founder represented eight times since 1977. Chirag's uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras and leader of the rebel faction currently represents the constituency in Lok Sabha. Chirag Paswan has termed the election "illegal" as it was conducted by members of the LJP who were suspended from the party. On Sunday as well, Sanjay Saraf, a leader of the faction said that the party got "weak" when Chirag Paswan was the chief of the party.
