Recently appointed as the Minister of Food Processing in Modi’s 3.0 cabinet, Paswan’s journey from Bollywood to the corridors of power is a tale of resilience and strategic manoeuvring.
Chirag Paswan’s political career took a significant leap with his victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. His faction triumphed in all five contested seats, solidifying his position and showcasing his political acumen.
Before his political career, Paswan dabbled in Bollywood. His foray into the film industry was short-lived, leading him to transition to politics in 2012. This shift was driven by a desire for public service and a commitment to his father’s legacy.
Paswan’s journey is marked by overcoming challenges and maintaining resilience. His ability to navigate internal party disputes and lead his faction to victory demonstrates his strategic prowess.
Paswan also owns two cars: a Maruti Suzuki Gypsy (2015) and a Toyota Fortuner (2014), together valued at Rs 35 lakh. His fixed properties, including a house in Patna, are valued at Rs 1.02 crore.
As per his Election affidavit, his total assets exceed Rs 2.68 crore, including movable assets worth Rs 1.66 crore. His investments include cash, bank deposits, shares, and gold jewellery valued at Rs 14.40 lakh.
