Chirag Paswan, the political heir to his father Ram Vilas Paswan, has walked out of the NDA ahead of the last state election in Bihar over his disagreements with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
While it cut down Kumar's numbers and gave the BJP the upper hand in the state, it left Paswan Junior isolated.
His uncle, Pashupati Paras, who had the support of four MPs, however remained with the NDA.
