PM Modi greets Chirag Paswan on his birthday, hails his work as ‘commendable’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended birthday greetings to Union minister for Food Processing Industries Chirag Paswan and lauded his contributions to advancing the food processing sector.

"Best wishes to Cabinet Minister Shri Chirag Paswan Ji on his birthday. His work in developing the food processing sector is commendable," PM Modi said through a post on X.

"He is working tirelessly to fulfil the ideals of Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Ji. May he be blessed with a long and healthy life," the prime minister added.


Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is a key ally in the BJP-led NDA, which is contesting the Bihar assembly elections in a bid to secure a fresh mandate.

The alliance also includes Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha, and Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha.

Chirag Paswan on Tuesday also backed Nitish Kumar as the NDA’s chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.

Last week, Paswan accused the RJD-Congress alliance of dividing people to win votes.

"What is their MY equation? M is dividing Biharis along communal lines. Y is dividing Biharis along ethnic lines. Similarly, we also talk about the MY equation, but our M includes women representing not only the nation but also the world. Similarly, Y represents not only the youth of the nation but also the world," Paswan said.
