Lok Janshakti Party President Chirag Paswan on Sunday said he was not worried about facing any kind of criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party or Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, but advised leaders to “use their words wisely”, ANI reported. Paswan downplayed the saffron party’s criticism of him and said it was doing that to “satisfy” Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Paswan’s statements came a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in an interview with News18 said that the LJP had left the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar on its own accord and asked Paswan not to “harbour any illusions”.
