In his appeal for votes supporting the NDA government in Bihar, Paswan encouraged the public to select the 'Karahi' (cooking pot) symbol of HAM.
The LJP-RV Chief stated, "Once victorious, we will fry samosas and pakoras in that same 'Karahi' to celebrate our success."
He observed that the initial voting trends indicated a clear pathway for the NDA government to return to power in Bihar.
"There is no question that a double-engine government led by the NDA is on the horizon. The citizens of Bihar are poised to appoint Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister once more," he affirmed.
Paswan emphasized Anil Kumar's long-standing personal connection with his late father, Ram Vilas Paswan, referring to him as a paternal figure.
He urged the populace to secure Anil Kumar's victory with a significant margin in the ongoing state elections.
From the same platform, Chirag Paswan called on voters in Gurua to support LJP-RV candidate Upendra Dangi with a strong majority.
During a separate rally in Chenari (Rohtas), Paswan criticized the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Lalu Prasad family, claiming the Grand Alliance is solely focused on their own interests.
He pointed out that when RJD leader and former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav was imprisoned, he appointed his wife Rabri Devi as Chief Minister and subsequently aimed to position their children as MPs and Chief Ministers.
Paswan accused them of exploiting the Muslim-Yadav (M-Y) equation for personal gain, stating that the advantages have been skewed to one side.
He asserted that his interpretation of the M-Y equation champions ‘Mahila’ (women) and Youth.

The LJP-RV is competing on 29 seats in the current state elections in Bihar.
