Union Minister Chirag Paswan has expressed satisfaction with his party's allocation of two ministerial berths in Bihar's new cabinet, refusing to appear "greedy" by demanding the deputy chief minister position. After securing 19 seats in Bihar's assembly elections, the LJP(RV) leader now aims to expand the party's presence to West Bengal, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh as part of the NDA coalition.
