Driven out of the ministerial bungalow in the national capital which had become synonymous with his late father, Chirag Paswan on Saturday played the victim card, sniffing out a conspiracy angle.

Paswan alleged that a day prior to his unceremonious eviction earlier this week, he was assured by "a top Union minister" that he could stay on, and wondered whether Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had a role to play in his "humiliation".
