There is a crisis in the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP). Five of its six MPs have rebelled against the sixth Lok Sabha member and LJP president Chirag Paswan. His uncle, Pashupati Paras, played down the 'rebellion' saying they were not against Chirag. The script of the uncle-nephew battle was started being written at the time when Ram Vilas Paswan handed over the command of the LJP to his son Chirag.
