IndiaTimes Friday, 18 July 2025 ()
Chirag Paswan is again targeting Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, this time over the state's deteriorating law and order, raising concerns about rising crime. Despite being part of the NDA, Paswan's criticism mirrors opposition claims, fueling speculation of a repeat of his 2020 strategy, when he supported the BJP but opposed Nitish Kumar.
