Chirag Paswan's UP gamble: Why PM Modi's 'Hanuman' is flexing his muscle against allies
Times of India
The brief
Chirag Paswan's decision to contest the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly election marks an expansion of LJP (Ram Vilas). With plans to prepare for all 403 seats, the move could test the party's ability to build a Dalit vote base, influence close BJP-SP contests and strengthen its bargaining power within the NDA. His political journey from the 2020 Bihar split to a 19-seat win in 2025 provides the backdrop.
