Within a week, five out of six-party MPs in the Lok Sabha revolted against party chief Chirag Paswan. The pack of revolting leaders was led by Pashupati Paras. The five leaders have been in a rift with Chirag Paswan since last year’s Bihar Assembly elections.
During their meeting over the weekend, they decided to appoint Pashupati Paras as the party’s parliamentary leader. Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla approved this on Monday evening.
The rebel MPs also decided that Mehboob Ali Keshar as the party’s deputy leader in the Lok Sabha and Chandan Singh would be the party’s chief whip.
