Chirag Paswan has taken aim at the opposition, saying it is not interested in solutions to the issues plaguing the country. In a democracy like India, transparency is a basic right, and you must certainly provide it, Paswan shared. "All I want to know and understand is: what is your objective behind these protests?

Solutions come through dialogue, not through protests. How far is it justified to block Delhi's roads at regular intervals, causing inconvenience to the public?"

Minister Paswan has voiced his backing for the youth, acknowledging that their primary concern is not finding answers. However, rather making their voices heard. Over the past three days, the young people have been using the streets as a platform to express their discontent, a trend that Paswan believes must be taken seriously.

He has established a platform that allows for open discussion. There, individuals can freely share their frustrations, suggestions, and concerns without fear of censorship. Paswan's approach emphasizes the importance of respectful dialogue.

Even when differing opinions are held, with the ultimate goal of finding a mutually beneficial solution.

Bharati views Paswan's comments as a reaffirmation of the role youth can play in shaping the nation's future. He believes the government has the right to take measures to maintain order.

However, also acknowledges the need for protesters to have a legitimate platform to express their grievances. Bharati's party has long taken a stance that allies support coalitions, rather than being coerced into submission.
