Patna (Bihar):In poll-bound Bihar, footage from a video showing Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Chirag Paswan prepping for a speech in front of a photograph of his late father Ram Vilas Paswan has gone viral on social media, providing ammunition for Janata Dal to mock him. Chirag Paswan retaliated against chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday by stating that he never expected the Janata Dal (United) chief to stoop so low.
He also added that he doesn't need to prove to anyone how sad he is due to his father's demise.
In the two-minute clip that has gone viral Chirag Paswan is seen giving multiple takes while attempting an ode to his father.
The Opposition parties had alleged that he "was not sad enough" while talking about his father.
"I don't understand what is the purpose of that video circulation. I don't need to give proof of how sad I was after my father's demise. I never expected the CM to come down so low. If you want to question then go ahead on policies, work, criticise 'Bihar first Bihari first'. But I never expected the chief minister to go so low with a personal attack," said Paswan.
