Chirag Paswan, who represents the Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency, has clinched a ministerial role in Modi's 3.0 cabinet. This marks a remarkable transformation for Paswan, who once harboured dreams of stardom in the film industry, transitioning from a potential political nobody to a Union minister. The Hajipur constituency holds sentimental value for Paswan, as it was previously held by his father, the late Ram Vilas Paswan, who established the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) back in 2000. Kangana Ranaut Meets Chirag Paswan!

He has been serving as the President of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) since 2021. Additionally, Paswan has been a Member of Parliament representing the Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency since 2024.

Before delving into politics, Chirag Paswan dipped his toes into Bollywood briefly. His silver screen journey commenced in 2011 with the movie Miley Naa Miley Hum, where he shared the screen with Kangana Ranaut, who also later became a fellow Member of Parliament, elected in 2024. Regrettably, the movie failed to make waves at the box office. Following this setback, Chirag bid adieu to the glitz and glamour of the film industry in 2012, shifting his focus towards a career in politics. Chirag Paswan Takes Oath as Minister in PM Narendra Modi’s Cabinet (Watch Video).
