RLJP chief resigns as Union Minister

Patna: Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) national president Pashupati Kumar Paras resigned from the Union cabinet on Tuesday, a day after NDA sealed seat-sharing pact in Bihar.

While addressing the mediapersons in Delhi, Paras said: “When I interacted with the media five to six days ago, I said that I would wait till the seat-sharing formula in NDA is announced. I honestly served as an alliance partner in NDA. PM Narendra Modi is a big leader of the country but injustice happened with my party and me. Hence, I am giving resignation from the post of Union minister.”

“We will discuss with our leaders and workers of the party to decide the future course of action,” he said. After the resignation of Pashupati Kumar Paras, Chirag Paswan said: “Time is powerful and not an individual person. Today, time has displayed its power. It has done the justice. I am ready to accept all challenges.”
