Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) is now set to suffer another setback following its defeat in the Bihar legislative assembly elections last year. It is said that as many as five of the party's six MPs in Lok Sabha have decided to remove Chirag Paswan as the leader of the Parliamentary party in the Lok Sabha and intend to replace him with Hajipur MP Pashupati Kumar Paras as the new leader of the LJP in Lok Sabha. According to reports LJP MPs met Lok Speaker Om Birla on Sunday and handed over a letter to him about new developments in the party. They request him to consider Pashupati Kumar Paras as new leader of the LJP in Lok Sabha,
Chirag Paswan, the son of late party supremo Ram Vilas Paswan, had been having a tough time managing the party ever since his father's death and factionalism became one of the primary concerns for the LJP. The party MPs who have now rebelled against Chirag Paswan's leadership in the Lok Sabha are not happy with the working style of Chirag. The LJP, which is a part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre, has a total of six MPs in Lok Sabha, of which five have now rebelled against Chirag Paswan's leadership.
