In a significant political development ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras resigned from his position, citing "injustice done to me and my party" after the BJP announced a seat-sharing pact with Chirag Paswan's faction, sidelining Paras and his party. The decision, marking a shift in the BJP's alliance strategy in Bihar, has sparked reactions across the political spectrum, with various leaders commenting on the implications of this move. Paras accused the BJP of injustice towards him and his party, stating that despite their sincere efforts and having five MPs, they were excluded from the NDA's list of 40 candidates for Bihar. He announced, "I resign from the post of", indicating his departure from the Union cabinet. This move by the BJP to ally with Chirag Paswan, nephew of Pashupati Paras, and exclude the latter's faction from the seat-sharing deal has raised questions about the NDA's internal dynamics and its impact on the upcoming elections.
