Will contest all 403 seats in UP polls if no pact is reached: BJP ally Chirag Paswan

Union Minister and LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan said his party may field candidates in all 403 seats in UP Assembly elections if it cannot work out an alliance with the BJP-led NDA. He cited Nagaland, where the party contested alone in 2023 and won two seats. He stated it will be a "positive development" if consensus is reached.
