Ram Vilas Paswan Birth Anniversary: PM Modi pays tribute; Chirag Paswan writes an emotional post for his ‘Papa ji’

Born on July 5, 1946, Ram Vilas Paswan, a heavy-weight leader in Bihar politics, breathed his last at age of 74 on October 8, 2020.

He served as Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution in the Narendra Modi government. He was also a minister in the previous NDA government.

Meanwhile, the battle for Paswan’s legacy is being played out with a tussle between his son Chirag and uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, who was elected as LJP’s leader in Lok Sabha by five of the party’s six lawmakers.

Recently, Chirag had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to confer the country’s highest civilian award Bharat Ratna on his father.
