"Forget caste-based politics. Chose those who do development based politics."Paswan, who had left the NDA after the 2002 Gujarat riots, added: "Since 2002 there have been no riots in Gujarat. But it keeps taking place in Bihar."The LJP has tied up with the Bharatiya Janata Party for the general election.
