Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) President Pashupati Kumar Paras on Tuesday resigned as the Union Minister for Food Processing Industries. He cited "injustice" as the reason after RLJP was left out of BJP-led NDA's seat-sharing deal for Lok Sabha elections in Bihar. Pashupati Kumar's nephew Chirag Paswan's LJP (Ram Vilas), was, meanwhile, allocated five seats in the seat-sharing deal.
