Will contest Uttar Pradesh, Punjab polls with or without BJP: Chirag Paswan
LJP(RV) leader Chirag Paswan said his party will contest all seats in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab unless it reaches a seat‑sharing deal with the NDA. The party remains open to an arrangement with the BJP but will field candidates independently if no agreement is made. This stance follows the LJP's recent decision to contest the state elections independently, reflecting its strategy to increase its influence.
