Patna: The BJP may allege that the Congress and the RJD are torchbearers of "dynasty politics", but family members of Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan are filling up posts in the LJP that is a constituent of the BJP-led NDA.

The latest is Ram Vilas's nephew Prince Raj, 28, who was last week appointed president of the LJP's student wing.

The party has six MPs, two MLAs and two MLCs, half of whom are from Ram Vilas's family. Out of six MPs, besides Ram Vilas himself, there is Ram Vilas's son Chirag and Ram Vilas's younger brother Ram Chandra Paswan. Ram Vilas's younger son Pashupati Kumar Paras is a minister in chief minister Nitish Kumar's cabinet and an MLC.

Prince Raj is the son of Ram Chandra Paswan. Raj had contested the Bihar Assembly polls in 2015 from Kalyanpur in Samastipur district against the JDU's Maheshwar Hazari, who happens to be another relative of Ram Vilas.

Senior NDA leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi campaigned for Prince Raj, but he lost.

The family members' mug shots are omnipresent in the banners and posters the LJP has put up in the state capital wishing people on the occasion of Makar Sankranti and Saraswati puja.

Prince did his schooling from Delhi and graduation from Madurai Kamaraj University and later moved to Britain for higher studies, completing his masters in international business from the University of Hertfordshire.

"In the 2015 Assembly elections, though I was unsuccessful, I worked sincerely for the party," he said. "As the post of student wing president was vacant for some years, the party leadership decided to give me the responsibility."

RJD spokesperson Ejya Yadav said: "Dynastic politics is in every party, but only the RJD is being attacked. "
