LJP disappoints in 2020 Bihar Elections 

An NDA ally since 2014, LJP decided to contest this year's polls separately owing to ideological differences with JD(U). During his campaigning, Chief Chirag Paswan took a bizarre stance by constantly hitting out at NDA's Chief Ministerial face Nitish Kumar while lauding PM Modi at same time.

Affirming that joining Mahagatbandhan would have been an easier choice, Chirag Paswan said that LJP wanted to bring back Bihar's lost pride. Lamenting that Nitish Kumar hn't lived up to his party's expectations, Paswan questioned  JD(U) president's idea of development.

Furrmore, he repeatedly asserted that LJP and BJP will form  next government in Bihar. Reiterating his affection for PM, LJP president said that he was  PM's Hanuman. However, things did t roll in Paswan's favour. LJP mand to bag just one seat with a vote share of 5.66%.
