Chirag Paswan 's statement on Bihar's victory
"The RJD has been completely wiped out in Bihar. The RJD was taking advantage of the fragmented NDA. The NDA came together, and the results are in front of you all." He pointed out that smaller allies are often underestimated in coalition politics. He cited examples like a party with one MP being given five seats, and a party with zero MLAs being given 29 seats, 26 of which they lost.
No conditions for deputy CM or other positions
Chirag clarified that he never had any conditions for becoming deputy CM. He said, "I had no conditions before, and I won't have any after. I am in this alliance because of our Prime Minister. The Prime Minister means a lot to me."
Asked about the alleged meeting with the Congress
Chirag Paswan said, "I don't know if any such meeting took place. Those who know me wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Let go of such narratives."
When asked about Nitish Kumar's successor,
Chirag said, "Who will succeed Nitish Kumar is a matter for his party. But for the next five years, the Bihar government will be led by Nitish Kumar."
When asked if he wanted to become the Chief Minister of Bihar
Chirag Paswan said, "I entered politics because of Bihar. I worry about why Biharis have to go to other states. After becoming an MP for the third time, I realized that to make Bihar first and Biharis first, I would have to go to Bihar." Expressing his affection for his party, Chirag Paswan said, "My party is like my mother to me. I have managed the party under adverse circumstances."
