Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) national president Chirag Paswan has strongly reacted to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s controversial remarks calling Bihar a “small, insignificant state.”
Taking to X, Chirag slammed Kharge’s statement, calling it “unfortunate and disgraceful.” He said such remarks insult not just Bihar, but also its rich culture, glorious traditions, and the spirit of its people.
कांग्रेस के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष द्वारा बिहार को "छोटा – मोटा" राज्य कहकर संबोधन करना अत्यंत दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण और अशोभनीय है। यह केवल बिहार नहीं, बल्कि इसकी गौरवशाली परंपरा, संस्कृति और जनमानस का अपमान है।

Paswan reminded Kharge of the many great personalities who were born from Bihar’s soil and took a direct jab at the Congress, saying, “Bihar is not small, the Congress Party’s mindset is.” He further added that such statements reflect the Congress party’s narrow thinking and deep-rooted arrogance towards states like Bihar.
