'Papa wanted me to go it alone in Bihar polls'

In his first interview to TOI after his father and LJP founder Ram Vilas Paswan’s death, the 37-year-old ‘Chirag’ of the Paswan family tells TOI that he has stopped his tears, for now, to fulfil his responsibilities as the leader of the party and his father’s dream to see LJP embark on the path of political supremacy in Bihar. Clad in a dhoti, Chirag tells Piyush Tripathi about the late RVP’s last words to him, why he has waged a war against CM Nitish Kumar and his strategy in the polls.
