Patna (The Uttam Hindu): Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan announced on Sunday that he will contest the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. Addressing the 'Nav Sankalp Mahasabha' at Rajendra Stadium in Chhapra, Paswan declared that his party will contest elections on all 243 assembly seats in Bihar.

Paswan's Statement:

1. "I will contest the elections as Chirag Paswan on every seat."

2. "This election is important for all of us, for every Bihari and for every Bihari family."
