Chirag Paswan's LJP Plans to Contest 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections Independently
Union Minister Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) plans to contest all 403 seats in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, signaling its intent to expand beyond Bihar. The party shifted its founder Ram Vilas Paswan's death anniversary event to Lucknow, highlighting its focus on UP. While preparing to contest independently, the LJP (RV) remains open to alliances. The move also appears aimed at challenging the Bahujan Samaj Party's traditional Dalit voter base in the state.
