Chirag Paswan recalls RJD's rule, blamed Lalu-Rabri for Bihar's backwardness
Ahead of the Assembly election, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) national president and Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Saturday (July 19, 2025) targeted the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) by recalling the day of 90s during this rally at Polo Ground in Munger district of Bihar. Attacking the rule of Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, the LJP (RV) leader said that their regime put the State in back gear and that's the reason even today, Bihar is rated a backward State. Accompanied by senior leaders of his party and MPs, he pointed out that the State of Bihar is at the bottom in different parameters in terms of development. Mr. Paswan urged the people that time has come that will shape their future for the next five year and can put Bihar on the top rank in the country. 'In the coming few months, Bihar election will be held, which will determine our next five years' future. In the 90s, we wasted so many such five years, due to which Bihar ranks at the bottom in terms of development. But this time, we have the opportunity to build a Bihar that is counted not only in the country but among the developed states of the entire world. Where Bihar, along with every Bihari, is first,'Mr. Paswan said while addressing the Nav Sankalp ((New Resolution)) Mahasabha. Attacking the Opposition parties, Hajipur MP said that the path towards the development of the State is not easy and plenty of obstacles will come. 'As the election approaches, leaders of RJD, Congress, and all opposition parties will come to present their views. Then you should ask them when their coalition had a long opportunity, why they did not make Bihar a developed state. In the 90s, a deep divide was created, which forced Biharis to migrate to other states and countries,' Mr. Paswan said. Criticising the earlier government, he added when he visits the other State and country, he sees the pain in the eyes of the people of Bihar who have migrated from their own state leaving the families back home to earn their livelihood. He also said that many even have settled there. He promised that he will not allow youths to go outside the State in search of employment and education. He pledged to create such opportunities in Bihar itself. 'The Opposition parties in Bihar do not want any Bihari to become educated. They do not want better employment opportunities to be established in Bihar. Because they know that the day Bihar's youth become educated and start asking questions, like Chirag Paswan does, their politics of caste and religion will come to an end,' Mr. Paswan said. Mr. Paswan claimed that many political parties are afraid of him and they cannot tolerate him and his campaign of Bihar First Bihari First. Without naming anyone, the Union Minister alleged that there are people who want to end his political career. 'Those who want to keep my Bihar backward, I stand tall and firm before them. I too will see how my Bihar does not progress, how my Bihar does not become number one. I am not afraid of anyone because I am the son of lion Ram Vilas Paswan who has never bowed down in front of anyone,' Mr. Paswan said.

Political opponents hatching conspiracy to blow me up with bomb, alleges Chirag Paswan at Bihar rally
PATNA: Union Minister and LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday alleged that his political opponents were hatching a conspiracy to blow him up 'with a bomb'. However, he claimed that such attempts of detractors would not desist him from his political objective. 'Sher ka beta hun. Isase darne wala nahi (I am a tiger's cub. It will not scare me at all),' he said, while addressing 'Nav Sankalp Mahasabha' in Bihar's Munger district. Chirag said he was being intimidated on social media, revealing this a week after receiving a threat on his Instagram account. The Union Minister said that the detractors made failed attempts to intimidate him. 'But they forget that I am a tiger's cub, who does not know how to bend. It is impossible to scare me,' he told the gathering. Without taking the name of his uncle and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras, Chirag said that many people were upset with his rise and LJP (RV)'s 'Bihari First, Bihari First' vision. In a veiled attack on the Opposition RJD, Chirag said the party had pushed the state into poverty and backwardness during its time in power and was now trying to mislead people ahead of the assembly elections with false promises of jobs and employment opportunities.

'Conspiring To Blow Me Up With Bomb': Chirag Paswan's Sensational Claim In Bihar's Munger
Union minister Chirag Paswan claimed that his detractors are conspiring to blow him up. He criticised his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras and RJD. In a blasting claim, Union minister Chirag Paswan on Saturday told a rally in Bihar that his detractors are staging a 'conspiracy" to blow him up 'with a bomb". The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president made the sensational statement in Munger district. He criticised his estranged uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, and Lalu Prasad's RJD. 'Many people are upset with Chirag Paswan's 'Bihar First, Bihari First' slogan, which strikes at the roots of their caste politics. Such people had caused the state to sink in poverty and backwardness while in power and now, ahead of the Assembly polls, they are trying to fob people off with false promises", said the Hajipur MP, in remarks that may be seen as aimed at Prasad's younger son and heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav, who is heading the INDIA bloc charge in the state. Paswan shared the images of the rally on his X account and wrote, 'Today, I addressed an unprecedented crowd at the 'Nav-Sankalp Mahasabha" held at Munger's Polo Ground. I express my gratitude to all the dedicated party workers and officials who worked tirelessly day and night to make the event grand and historic. Your hard work and dedication are our greatest strength." आज मुंगेर के पोलो ग्राउंड में 'नव-संकल्प महासभा" में उमड़े अभूतपूर्व जनसैलाब को संबोधित किया।कार्यक्रम को भव्य और ऐतिहासिक बनाने के लिए दिन – रात लगे पार्टी के सभी कर्मठ कार्यकर्ताओं एवं पदाधिकारियों का आभार प्रकट करता हूं।आप सभी की मेहनत और समर्पण ही हमारी सबसे बड़ी ताकत है। — युवा बिहारी चिराग पासवान (@iChiragPaswan) July 19, 2025 'There have always been attempts by Chirag Paswan's detractors to stop him. They split his party and, later, got him dragged out of his house, leaving him to fend for himself on the streets. But nothing could break Chirag Paswan", said the 43-year-old leader, who of late has been referring to himself in the third person at public meetings. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 22:14 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Chirag Paswan's explosive claim at Bihar rally: ‘Conspiracy to blow me up with a bomb'
Bihar: Union Minster Chirag Paswan, on Saturday, claimed that his detractors have allegedly hatched a "conspiracy" to blow him up 'with a bomb'. Paswan's explosive claim comes a week after a Lok Janshakti Party leader said that Chirag had received a death threat via social media. The party chief made the comments while addressing a rally in Bihar's Munger, where assembly polls are due later this year. The Lok Janshakti Party president also hurled several barbs at his estranged uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, and Lalu Prasad's RJD with which the latter has aligned, without mentioning by name any of his opponents, reported PTI. The 43-year-old leader, who has lately been referring to himself in third person when addressing public meetings, said his detractors have always 'tried to stop Chirag Paswan.' "There have always been attempts by Chirag Paswan's detractors to stop him. They split his party and, later, got him dragged out of his house, leaving him to fend for himself on the streets. But nothing could break Chirag Paswan", said the leader. Paswan, who found himself sidelined in the Lok Janshakti Party founded by his late father Ram Vilas Paswan after a split led by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, recalled his time in political isolation. He spoke of the difficult phase spent in the wilderness before being brought back into the fold by the BJP, which offered him an alliance ahead of last year's Lok Sabha elections. "Many people are upset with Chirag Paswan's 'Bihar First, Bihari First' slogan, which strikes at the roots of their caste politics. Such people had caused the state to sink in poverty and backwardness while in power and now, ahead of the Assembly polls, they are trying to rob people off with false promises", said the Hajipur MP, reported PTI. Leaders from the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), responding to the striking claim made by Paswan, said that Chirag might have referred to the recent FIR lodged regarding a threat to the MP. 'It may have been a reference to the FIR lodged recently against a social media troll. Chirag ji may have made use of it for rhetoric,' news wire PTI quoted a LJP leader as saying. As per the LJP leader, Paswan was referring to a police complaint lodged at cyber police station in Patna, by the party's chief spokesman Rajesh Kumar Bhatt, against an Instagram user who had threatened to blow up Paswan.

Oppn wants to divide us on caste, religious lines: Chirag
Patna: LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday alleged that a conspiracy has been hatched to create an atmosphere of fear in the state by executing incidents of crime so that investors don't come to Bihar and give employment to the youth. Addressing the Jan Sankalp Mahasabha organised by his party at Polo Ground in Munger, the Union minister attacked the opposition for dividing the society on religious and caste lines. Without taking names, he targeted RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and former CM of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav. "A pair of two boys was formed in UP but they could not do anything there. Now one of them has come to Bihar and is forming a pair," Chirag said and appealed to the public to be cautious of such people. "If you support me, I promise to make a developed and self-reliant Bihar for you," he said and added that attempts were made to break his party and family and even throw him out of the house to break Chirag. "Now they want to finish me and threaten to bomb me. But I am not the one to either bend or break." Referring to the Lalu-Rabri regime in Bihar, the Hajipur MP said, "This is the time to fix responsibility on those under whose regime, people sent their children outside Bihar for education and employment and settled there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Redefine Your Future with a Top Online MBA SRM Online Enquire Now Undo We call them migrants," he said and alleged that the opposition always talked about castes to divide the society. "We are here to chart an important course to make Bihar first, Bihari first. The assembly polls in a few months will decide our next five years. We have already lost many such five years in the 1990s and that's why Bihar is at the lower rung of many indices in the country. We have to make Bihar first, but the opposition will try to derail us. Ask them why they could not make Bihar a developed state during their rule in the 1990s," he said. "They (opposition) want to keep us divided on religious and caste lines as they know once the Bihar people become educated, their political shop will be shut. That's why they want to finish Chirag. I will do what I say and people of the state will get employment not only in the state but in their villages itself," Chirag said. "Woh jante hain ki jis din Bihari jaat-paat aur majhab se uthkar ek ho gaya to desh aur duniya ko rasta dikhane ka kaam karega'. That's why some political parties dislike me," he said. LJP(RV) MP from Samastipur, Sambhavi Choudhary, urged the people to take a pledge to take Bihar to newer heights. Khagaria MP Rajesh Verma said the LJP(RV) has a new M-Y combination of Mahila and Yuva. "We will not rest till making Chirag the CM of Bihar," he said. Jamui MP and Chirag's brother-in-law Arun Bharti said Bihar needs a young leader who can lead the state for the next two decades.
