Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Chirag Paswan, who recently joined hands with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), said his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will announce its candidates for the upcoming Bihar Lok Sabha Elections, “immediately after holi“.

“We will announce all our candidates in a few days… immediately after Holi,” Chirag Paswan, son of late Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, said Sunday.
