Why LJP Chief and Union Minister Chirag Paswan adopts reconciliatory tone

Trouble from allies seems to be mounting for the BJP, especially from its partners in Bihar, where the Assembly election is due next year. LJP (Ram Vilas) Chief and Union Minister Chirag Paswan, who had issued statements opposing the Centre’s proposals, adopted a reconciliatory tone following a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah. In the meeting, it reportedly appeared that the BJP might reopen channels of communication with his estranged uncle, Pashupati Kumar Paras. And since then, the tone of Paswan has changed. Paswan now proudly claims himself  to be the ‘Hanuman’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
