Chirag Paswan who has been sidelined in his Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) after a coup led by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, will hold a national executive meeting in Delhi on Sunday.

The Paras faction, however, claims that Paswan cannot hold a party meeting as he is no longer the president of the party.  The LJP has six MPs in the Lok Sabha and five of them have considered Paras as their leader.

Amid a feud with his uncle Pashupati Paras over the control of the party, Paswan has asserted that more than 90 per cent of the national executive members are with him.

Meanwhile, the LJP faction headed by Paras on Saturday disbanded all bodies and state units affiliated with the party and announced a new national executive.
