No consensus yet on seatsharing RLSP

Patna | Sunday | 15th July, 2018

Summary:

The issue will be resolved only when leaders of all constituent parties sit together and hold discussions,” Union minister and RLSP chief Kushwaha told media persons on Saturday. “No one can ignore Paswan when it comes to politics in Bihar,” he said. Soon after reaching the state capital from New Delhi, the minister left for Nabinagar in Aurangabad where he will attend the inaugural function of a central school.A senior LJP functionary said the way Shah “overlooked” Paswan while meeting Nitish was not good for the well-being of the alliance. PATNA: Two NDA allies – Upendra Kushwaha-led Rashtriya Lok Samata Party ( RLSP ) and Ram Vilas Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) – on Saturday made it clear that the alliance partners were yet to reach a consensus as far as seat-sharing for next year’s parliamentary elections was concerned.If sources are to be believed, the two parties are unhappy with the way BJP national president Amit Shah “ignored” them when he visited Patna on Thursday and held parleys with CM Nitish Kumar over breakfast and dinner apart from calling on governor Satya Pal Malik.“No formula has yet been reached as far as seat-sharing among NDA partners is concerned..
