In reply, Sardar can be heard saying that he would arrange youth from the Dalit hostels in Patna for the protest against Paras' arrival.
Paras arrived here from Delhi on Wednesday to participate in the national executive committee meeting of the party held on Thursday. He was later elected as LJP President with the support of five MPs, including himself and his nephew Prince Raj.
Earlier this week, Chirag Paswan faced a coup by five Lok Sabha MPs of his party, including his uncle Paras and cousin brother Prince Raj.
The five MPs had on Monday removed Chirag Paswan as the leader of LJP in the Lok Sabha, before removing him as the party president during an emergency meeting held on Tuesday.
Following the coup, Chirag called a virtual national executive meeting and sacked the five MPs from the party for 'anti-party' activities.
