Patna, Apr 6 (PTI) Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan on Thursday attended a public event in Bihar's Mokama to mark the birth anniversary of 'Baba Chauharmal', a revered figure especially among Paswans, a Dalit community.

His party leaders expressed happiness at the big crowd that greeted Paswan at the event, more so as he is locked in a political fight with his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, a Cabinet minister who had walked away with five of the six Lok Janshakti Party MPs, leaving Chirag isolated.
