In a significant political development, Chirag Paswan has declared that his late father Ram Vilas Paswan's dream has been realized after two legislators from his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) took oath as ministers in the Bihar government on November 20, 2025.
A Father's Vision Achieved
The emotional leader expressed that his father would have been the happiest person to witness this political milestone. Chirag Paswan emphasized that this development represents a major victory for his party, which has been working to establish its presence in Bihar's complex political landscape.
The swearing-in ceremony marked a crucial moment for LJP(RV), signaling its growing influence in the state government formation. This comes after the closely watched Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, where the party managed to secure representation in the legislative assembly.
Political Resurgence in Bihar
The inclusion of two LJP(RV) MLAs in the ministry under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's leadership demonstrates the evolving political equations in Bihar. This development is particularly significant given the party's recent challenges and reorganization following the passing of its founder Ram Vilas Paswan.
Chirag Paswan, who has been steering the party through turbulent times, described this achievement as the fulfillment of his father's long-cherished dream. The political legacy of Ram Vilas Paswan, who was known as 'Dalyit Mitra' (friend of Dalits), continues to influence Bihar's political dynamics through his son's leadership.
New Chapter in Bihar Politics
This ministerial induction marks what political observers are calling 'Nitish 10.0' - referring to Nitish Kumar's political maneuvers in forming yet another government. The participation of LJP(RV) in the government indicates potential new alliances and shifting power equations in the state.
The development comes at a crucial time when Bihar is looking at new governance models and political stability. With two of its members now part of the ministerial team, LJP(RV) is positioned to play a more significant role in shaping policies and decisions affecting the state's development trajectory.
Political analysts see this as Chirag Paswan's successful effort to reclaim his father's political space and ensure that the party founded by Ram Vilas Paswan continues to have a voice in Bihar's governance structure.
