Chirag Paswan Expands LJP(RV) National Team For Upcoming State Elections
· India · Indian Express, The Hindu
Union Minister Chirag Paswan has restructured the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) by appointing a new national executive committee of over 100 members. The party aims to strengthen its appeal among younger voters and expand its political footprint beyond Bihar ahead of assembly elections in seven states due in 2027. Key appointments include Samastipur MP Shambhavi Choudhary as the head of the student wing and Surendra Vivek as the new Bihar state president. The committee includes 12 national general secretaries and 12 national spokespersons, balancing new faces with veteran loyalists. This reorganization follows Paswan's recent efforts to engage with grassroots issues outside of traditional electoral cycles.
Why it matters
The leadership shuffle signals the LJP(RV)'s intent to transition from a Bihar-centric party to a broader national political force while securing its core Dalit support base.
