"Thank you, Honourable Chief Minister, for visiting my residence today and partaking in the Kharna Prasad. Heartfelt gratitude for meeting my family members during this time and extending best wishes for the Chhath Mahaparv," Chirag Paswan said on X, expressing his gratitude to the CM.
The visit came as the assembly elections are being held in the State in two phases- November 6 and November 11, with counting of votes to take place on November 14.
Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) is one of the constituents of the Nitish Kumar-led NDA in Bihar, with the former contesting on 29 seats and later on 101 seats in the assembly polls.

Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary on Sunday launched a sharp attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, alleging that the people of Bihar consider him "a thief" due to his family's history of corruption and scams.
Speaking to the reporters, Samrat Choudhary said, "Lalu Prasad's family is known for corruption and theft; that is why I said that people of Bihar consider Lalu Prasad a thief only... When he became the Rail Minister of the country, he started taking land in exchange for a job. Bihar gave power to Lalu Prasad's family for 15 years, but only 94,000 people got government jobs. In the reign of Nitish Kumar, 18.5 lakh people got government jobs..."
"That is why the people of Bihar know that on one hand, there is a government that delivers, a government that develops, a government that provides good roads... It is decided from the manifesto what they want, what its budget will be, and how its provision will be. Just by speaking, the people of Bihar will not understand. The people of Bihar have understood that Lalu Prasad's family is there to loot and to commit crimes," he said. (ANI)
