Chirag Paswan on his 'Bihar First–Bihari First' vision

When asked about 'Bihar First-Bihari First' and the role of youth in politics, Chirag Paswan said, "When I talk about 'Bihar First-Bihari First,' it means overall development, unlike other youth leaders who talk about youth but view them through caste divisions. They see Muslim youth as different and Yadav youth as different. When I talk about 'MY equation,' 'M' stands for 'mahilayein' (women) and 'Y' stands for youth. I believe both face similar issues. I am moving forward with the idea of 'Bihar First - Bihari First,' where we can progress toward building a 'Viksit Bihar'..."
