The money laundering case stems from a clutch of 20 FIRs registered by the Bihar Police against a company named Broadsons Commodities Pvt Ltd (BCPL) and its directors alleging they were engaged in illegal mining and sale of sand without using e-challans.
Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras has said that he will contest from the Hajipur seat in Bihar and added the same has been conveyed to the BJP.
Bihar: After the dissolution of the alliance with RJD, Nitish Kumar has been reinstated as Bihar's Chief Minister. Although the expansion of his cabinet has been pending, it is expected to happen today, followed by a swearing-in ceremony in the evening.
With no opposition candidates contesting against him, Nitish Kumar's re-election to the Legislative Council was a smooth process, underscoring his political dominance in Bihar.
The RJD may offer only 7 seats out of 40 in Bihar to Congress for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, sources said.
Nitish Kumar on January 28 took oath as Chief Minister of Bihar for a record ninth time after a dramatic volte-face, ditching the Mahagathbandhan and the opposition bloc INDIA and forming a new government with the BJP, which he had dumped less than 18 months ago.
Apparently, it's a big victory for Chirag as he was at loggerheads with uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, who split LJP after the demise of Ram Vilas Paswan, forging his party - Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) over all seats won by undivided LJP.
The LJP had, in 2019, fought six seats, winning all of those, though the two splinter groups may have to settle for a much smaller number this time, especially in view of the fact that the NDA has brought into its fold two smaller parties, the Rashtriya Lok Morcha and HAM.
