Bihar News: Political upheaval in Bihar has once again gained momentum. The reason for this is Chirag Paswan, who once again remains the subject of discussion. Chirag, who opened a front against Nitish Kumar before the 2020 assembly elections, is preparing to bring himself into a functionally role in the 2025 election today. But the big question is whether he will leave the post of Union Minister in the Narendra Modi government at the Center for the 2025 election?
Chirag Paswan’s post?
Chirag Paswan will be completed one year on 9 June 2025, becoming Union Food Processing Industry Minister. He was made a minister after a strong performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. But now that he is talking about his move in the Bihar assembly elections, he will have to leave the post of Union Minister. This is because a person cannot handle the ministerial at both the center and the state.
Political profit and loss
If Chirag Paswan enters Bihar politics, he will have to be limited under the purview of the state. But right now he is the Union Minister, who has access to the country and is directly working in the operation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. If he becomes a minister of Bihar, his political impact and contact will be limited.
On the other hand, if he comes into Bihar politics and performs powerful performance, he can present himself as a contender for the post of Chief Minister in the coming time. He wants to bring himself as a leader of Bihar with slogans like “Bihar First, Bihari First”. But this can be a danger filled bet.
Difference in facilities and pay
While Union Minister, Chirag Paswan gets a salary of about Rs 1.24 lakh every month, Rs 2500 per day, government housing in Delhi, unlimited air and rail travel, about 50 thousand units free electricity, 1.70 lakh free calls, 50 thousand for computer help and stationery allowance.
At the same time, the salary of the cabinet minister in Bihar is only Rs 65,000, regional allowance Rs 70,000, daily allowance 3500 and hospitality allowance Rs 29,500 every month. The travel allowance is Rs 25 per km and the government house is available in Patna. It is clear that there is a big difference between facilities and salary.
Chirag Paswan’s decision?
For Chirag Paswan, this decision is not just of the post, but the path of future politics. While being a Union Minister, he wants to maintain national identity, while the decision to contest Bihar elections will limit him in state politics. However, if he takes this step and achieves success in elections, he can establish himself as a big leader. At the moment, everyone’s eyes are on their next step.
