Furthermore, Chirag Paswan, leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), has reiterated his unwavering support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that his sole aspiration is to see Modi continue as the Prime Minister of India. This declaration comes amidst a backdrop of strong alliances forming in support of PM Modi, with both Chirag Paswan and Nitish Kumar pledging their support to the Prime Minister unconditionally.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, these developments underscore the intricate negotiations and alliances shaping the future trajectory of governance in both Andhra Pradesh and at the national level.
