However still, my party performed well,” Paswan told reporters.
“We have been near victory in a few seats. However I can say our party performed nicely. The Bihar mandate has given us an indication that we’re near our 2025 target,” he added.
Days earlier than elections, Paswan had taken an enormous gamble, breaking away from the NDA within the state, and deciding to go solo.Its different huge gamble, which made its complete technique in addition to the BJP’s suspect, was concentrating its assaults on the JD(U). Apart from 5 seats the place the BJP was contesting, the LJP fielded candidates in opposition to the JD(U). On a few of its seats, it accommodated BJP leaders who had didn’t get tickets.
The one seat received by the LJP finally was Matihani, the place Raj Kumar Singh defeated sitting JD(U) MLA Narendra Kumar Singh alias Bogo Singh by a razor-thin margin of 333 votes.
On being requested to react to Kumar becoming chief minister once once more, Paswan said “since I am not in the position of power to comment on that now.”
