**Chirag Paswan Announces Bihar Assembly Run, Backs Domicile Policy**

**Patna, Bihar – July 6, 2025** – Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan declared his candidacy for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections at a rally in Saran today. Addressing supporters, Paswan vowed to work for a “better future of Bihar” and realize the dreams of his late father, Ram Vilas Paswan, prioritizing “Bihar first, Bihari first.”

“I want to announce from Saran that yes, Chirag Paswan will contest the elections for the sake of a better future of Bihar,” Paswan stated, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

In a move that distinguishes him within the ruling NDA coalition, Paswan also expressed his support for implementing a domicile policy for government jobs in Bihar, a long-standing demand of job seekers. He criticized the opposition, accusing the RJD and Congress of previously withdrawing a domicile policy and misleading the public. Paswan claimed that the RJD, if in power, would introduce an inheritance tax that would seize much of the public’s wealth.

“For the sake of the youth of Bihar, I am in support of the introduction of a domicile policy in government jobs. This has been a long-standing demand of job seekers,” said Mr. Paswan.

Paswan further attacked the RJD, claiming that the same people who ruined the state in the ’90s are now talking about development.

The announcement comes as a challenge to the current Nitish Kumar government, which has already ruled out the implementation of a domicile policy, citing constitutional concerns. Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has promised to implement 100% domicile if his Mahagathbandhan alliance comes to power.

The Bihar Assembly elections are shaping up to be a closely watched contest, with Paswan’s entry adding a new dynamic to the political landscape.
