Paswan's birthday wish for "guardian" Amit Shah amid campaign heat

October 22, 2020 14:23

Chirag Paswan today used his birthday wishes for Union Home Minister Amit Shah to demonstrate his loyalty to the BJP while steadily sharpening his attacks on its ally, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

The Lok Janshakti Party leader called Amit Shah his "guardian" in a tweet crafted as a message to Nitish Kumar at the peak of the campaign for the Bihar polls starting next week.

"Best wishes to the country's Home Minister, guardian Amit Shah on his birthday. Sir you inspire lakhs of youth like me to do something for the country. May god always keep you healthy," Chirag Paswan tweeted on the senior BJP leader's 56th birthday.

The 37-year-old LJP MP, who is fighting separately from the National Democratic Alliance in the October-November Bihar election, also spoke to Amit Shah on the phone.

Shortly before the birthday greetings, Chirag Paswan had, in three tweets, targeted Nitish Kumar over what he alleged were "five years of scams" and added that if he came to power, he would have all those responsible jailed.
