Bihar Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Prince Raj said that LJP wants to see Chirag as the next Chief Minister of Bihar and whether the party will contest in 143 seats in the upcoming polls will be known soon.

New Delhi:Bihar Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president and MP Prince Raj on Monday said whether the party will contest in the Assembly elections with the NDA or not will be decided by Chirag Paswan in the upcoming two days.

He also added whatever the decision Chirag will take will be accepted by all the party members.

Prince also claimed that LJP wants to see Chirag as the next Bihar Chief Minister and whether the party will contest on 143 seats in the upcoming polls will be known soon.

Prince also put to rest speculations about the rift in the party and said media reports of LJP members threatening to quit the party are baseless. He said the opposition is peddling such news.

"LJP is united," Price said.

If LJP breaks up from NDA, whether we will ally with Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) president Pappu Yadav, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) chief Upendra Kushwaha or Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni remains to be seen, said Prince.

He also said the options are all open and it's up to Chirag to make the final decision.

"Till now we have not discussed the issue of seat-sharing with JDU, BJP in NDA," he added.

The dates of Bihar assembly elections have been announced, but all is not well in the NDA.

The conflict between JDU and LJP has increased significantly with LJP may breaking up from Bihar NDA as it wants to contest on 143 seats.

However, this decision can also create a divide in LJP with Pashupati Paras, Mehboob Ali Kesar, Chandan Singh, Veena Singh threatening to leave the party.

Amid all the speculations, Paras recently said all's well in the party and the news of them breaking is baseless.
