Chirag Paswan, the current leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) youth wing, is set to campaign for the party in the upcoming Bihar bypolls. This move is seen as a significant development, given that Paswan has been at odds with the BJP leadership over various issues.
According to sources close to the party, Paswan’s visit to Bihar is aimed at winning over young voters and strengthening the BJP’s presence in the state. The bypolls are scheduled for several constituencies across the state, including those that were previously held by allies of the BJP.
Paswan’s return to the BJP could be a significant boost for the party, given his youth brigade’s popularity among voters. However, it is worth noting that Paswan has been critical of the BJP leadership on several occasions, and his decision to campaign for the party may not necessarily mean he will follow their policies.
The Bihar bypolls are seen as a crucial test of the BJP’s strength in the state, given its recent losses in the Assembly elections. The BJP had lost 10 out of 16 seats in the last Assembly election, marking a significant decline for the party in the state.
Paswan’s visit to Bihar comes at a time when the BJP is facing internal divisions and opposition from within the party ranks. The BJP leadership has been at odds with Paswan over issues such as the party’s stance on various social and economic issues, as well as the handling of internal conflicts.
Despite these challenges, Paswan remains one of the most popular faces in the BJP, particularly among young voters. His return to the party could potentially strengthen the BJP’s position in the state, but it also raises questions about the party’s ability to implement its policies effectively.
