On Ram Vilas Paswan birth anniv, a battle for legacy between his son & brother

On Ram Vilas Paswan's birth anniversary on Monday, his son and brother are engaged in a bitter battle for his legacy.

Chirag Paswan, who has been cornered within the LJP after a political coup staged by his uncle, will be launching an ashirwad yatra from Hajipur. Paswan senior represented Hajipur for eight terms in Lok Sabha and his brother Pashupati Kumar Paras is now MP from there.

Chirag's yatra has naturally angered Paras, who is now the partys leader in the Lok Sabha, and has also acquired the designation of national president of the faction he leads.

Paras recently questioned Chirag whether the birth anniversary of his father was an occasion for paying tributes or to seek blessings of the people.

He also advised his nephew, with whom he has burnt his bridges, to hold his programmes in Jamui the Lok Sabha seat he is representing for the second consecutive term.
