Chirag Paswan claims he is Modi’s ‘Hanuman’

LJP chief Chirag Paswan asserted on Friday that he is Narendra Modi’s “Hanuman” and that the Prime Minister lives in his heart. Paswan’s statement came on a day when he was excoriated by Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, who called the LJP leader a “vote Katua” (splitter of votes) and accused him of trying to create a confusion by harping on his equations with senior leaders of the saffron party. “The Prime Minister lives in my heart .... I am like his Hanuman. If they (his critics) want, they can prise open my heart and see that. I don’t need to use the Prime Minister’s photograph,” Paswan said.
