Now he garnered himself with another milestone that he achieved on 9th June, 2024 and that is a supreme position as a Union Minister under NDA led Government, modi 3.0 cabinet.

Early Life and Background:

Chirag Paswan was born into a prominent political family on 31st October 1982.His father, Ram Vilas Paswan was an Indian stalwart and a key figure among Dalits in India. His father as a Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) founder, was a prominent figure and uplifted the party to the national level during his tenure. Raised under such circumstances implies his understanding of issues surrounding Indian politics came at tender ages.

Before going into politics, Chirag had found his way into entertainment industry where he made his Bollywood debut through the movie “Miley Naa Miley Hum” which was released in 2011. Nevertheless, his love for public service as well as his political career soon took over; thus, he later joined LJP where he served under the tutelage of his father.

Entry Into Politics:

The year 2014 formally marked Chirag Paswan’s entry into politics when he vied for and subsequently won Jamui’s Lok Sabha constituency seat in Bihar.His bid was characterized by a youthful exuberance mixed with the seasoned political strategies of his father who is an experienced politician. His election into the national assembly by such a wide margin was seen as a breath of fresh air into Bihar’s political environment.

In the initial phases of his career as a Member of Parliament, Chirag remained an active participant in debates and discussions held within the house thereby establishing himself as a forward-looking individual who championed for policy oriented towards growth as well as development in Bihar. Education, health care and infrastructure formed part of his cornerstones that drew attention from both youth and members belonging to middle class hence shaping him into a politician with forward-thinking ideals.

Leadership of LJP:

In 2019 Chirag Paswan took over as LJP president from his father, after that he subsequently alters the organization dynamics considerably under his stewardship as he sought to broaden its support base to include more people from diverse age groups as well. He would often mention to his followers on how important it was not only for them but also the entire party if at all there was going be any kind of betterment in their lives.

One notable decision that Chirag made was during Bihar’s 2020 Legislative Assembly election time. He wanted out of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) that had been ruling the state for close to two decades and run independently challenging Janata Dal (United)’s Nitish Kumar though no seats were guaranteed for his party much as he positioned himself strategically by condemning the governance style adopted by Nitish’s regime.

Challenges and Controversies:

However, Chirag’s political path has not been smooth; it has had its share of challenging moments and controversies. His solo run in the 2020 Bihar polls led to the break-up of NDA with disapproval emanating from various quarters as well. Internal dynamics within LJP too pose powerful obstacles of success. Consequently, in 2021, the party fragmented with his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras leading one faction while another remained loyal to him. This division proved detrimental but Chirag has remained resilient in spite of everything.

This achievement holds a special significance in Bihar political scenario after separation from his own uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras led party. The people of Bihar supports the man by giving their votes and creates history in Bihar polity to mark this election as a turnaround of a man from aspiring movie star to Union minister under Modi 3.0 cabinet.
