Union Food Processing Industries Minister Chirag Paswan and Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor have joined hands with each other ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, and the latter should declare the former as chief ministerial candidate, said Independent MP from Purnia, Pappu Yadav, on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters in Patna, Yadav also said that he would welcome Paswan into his camp if he doesn't like
it with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). "Chirag Paswan and Prashant Kishor have joined hands. Prashant Kishor should announce Chirag Paswan as the Chief Minister," Yadav was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
"Everyone knows that if they win even a few seats, it will cause trouble for the JD-U and trouble for Nitish ji. If Chirag ji doesn't like it there, we will welcome him," he said.
