Political Moves In LJP And BJP: 5 MPs Rebel Against Chirag Paswan; MLAs Missing At Suvendu Adhikari's Meet

Chirag Paswan's attempts at reconciliation were roundly snubbed, a day after five of six Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) MPs broke away in an amazing coup led by his uncle. Five rebel MPs voted to replace Chirag Paswan. They elected his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras as their leader instead. Chirag Paswan is the son of party founder Ram Vilas Paswan who died last year on June 14. Later, Speaker Om Birla left Chirag Paswan replaced as Lok Sabha leader in the party he heads.

Pashupati Kumar Paras refused to meet his nephew in Delhi on June 14 afternoon. He made it clear that he represents the "real LJP" now. Pashupati Kumar Paras is the younger brother of Ram Vilas Paswan. Chirag Paswan drove to his uncle's house but stayed in his car for an hour & 45 minutes as Paras did not invite him in. His cousin Prince Raj also stays there, but he did not come out either. Reports say Chirag Paswan had gone with a compromise formula - he makes way for his mother to become party chief.
