RLJP's Pashupati Paras quits Modi cabinet amid seat-sharing dispute

Union minister and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) president Pashupati Kumar Paras on Tuesday resigned from the Modi cabinet, alleging “injustice” after his party was not included in the seat-sharing deal for the Lok Sabha polls in Bihar.

“Injustice has been done to us and our party. Therefore, I resign from the post of Union minister,” he said.

Reports indicate that RLJP leaders and workers had unanimously agreed to take an 'independent' stance due to perceived injustice in the seat-sharing arrangement. Pashupati Kumar Paras' resignation from the union cabinet was anticipated shortly after the announcement of the seat-sharing arrangements, signaling dissatisfaction within the party ranks over being excluded from the electoral alliance.
