Paswan also made to the headlines when he said he was “Hanuman” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Prime Minister is in my heart. Prime Minister Modi was standing with me when I was alone outside my father’s ICU. He gave such an honour to my father. Should I forget all that? He has loved like a father, this is my personal belief just like religion,” Paswan had said earlier.
