Accused of working with the BJP to weaken Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's hold over his party, Chirag Paswan, the former chief of Lok Janshakti Party, today hit out, saying that Mr Kumar should be "scared from those within his party". "Nitish Kumar's presence hardly helped his party in the 2020 elections. Isn't he part of the Chirag model. Janta Dal (United) is no longer United, but divided. What kind of language did their national president use against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar? The Chief Minister should not be scared of "Chirag model", but from members within his party," Mr Paswan said.
