Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party president Pashupati Kumar Paras tendered his resignation as Union Minister on Monday, following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) finalization of seat-sharing with Chirag Paswan for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls scheduled to commence in seven phases starting from April 19.
In a press conference, Paras stated, “PM Modi is a prominent leader, but I feel my party and I have been treated unjustly. Therefore, I am stepping down as Union Minister,” as he submitted his resignation papers.
The announcement came a day after the BJP-led NDA disclosed its seat-sharing agreement, allocating five seats to Chirag Paswan-led LJP (Ram Vilas).
During the press briefing, Paras refrained from discussing his future plans.
