Fresh off central duties, Chirag Paswan, the dynamic Union Minister, is all set to roll out his much-anticipated ‘Gratitude Yatra’ in Bihar from January 15 onwards. This sweeping campaign is a tribute to the grassroots warriors and voters who kept his party’s flame alive.
The blueprint includes 50+ events over weeks, blending high-energy roadshows with intimate worker meets. Paswan will unpack how his Food Processing portfolio is channeling investments into Bihar, creating a ripple effect in employment and exports.
Cleverly slotted after January 14, it sidesteps the Ram Mandir spotlight, allowing Paswan to dominate Bihar headlines. Expect laser-focused messaging on local pain points: flood relief, education reforms, and highway expansions under Bharatmala.
Drawing from past triumphs, the yatra upgrades the formula with tech integrations like live streaming and app-based feedback. It’s Paswan’s bid to own the youth vote, positioning LJP(RV) as the progressive NDA face.
While detractors cry foul on timing, Paswan’s unyielding support base—evident in his 2024 Lok Sabha sweep—suggests otherwise. This could fortify his leverage in alliance negotiations, potentially securing more seats.
Ultimately, the yatra signals Paswan’s long game: transforming sympathy into a sustainable mandate. Bihar watches keenly as this journey could redraw electoral maps.
