Ram Vilas debuted in the Lok Sabha in 1977 from Hajipur with a record margin of more than 4 lakh votes. He represented the seat ninth time before he was elected to Rajya Sabha. In 2019, his younger brother Pashupati Kumar Paras was elected. Paras was inducted into the Modi cabinet.
Chirag was elected a Lok Sabha MP from Jamui in 2014 and 2019. He chose Hajipur this time believing it to be the 'karmabhoomi' of his father. His mother Reena turned emotional when PM Modi at an election rally held at Kutubpur under Hajipur constituency praised the Jamui MP on Monday.
The junior Paswan is pitted against Shiv Chandra Ram of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Shiv Chandra, twice MLA from Rajapakar and former state minister, unsuccessfully contested the election in 2019 but lost to Pashupati Kumar Paras largely due to the 'Modi wave'. Shiv Chandra is considered close to Lalu Prasad.
