Talks for finding place in alliance on: RLD

Sunday, 13 January 2019 | PTI | Lucknow

On a day when the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP) announced a tie-up in Uttar Pradesh for the coming Lok Sabha polls, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) kept its hopes alive, saying the talks for finding a place in the alliance were continuing.

“The alliance of the two parties has been announced today...As far as we are concerned, our talks for the same are continuing,” RLD national spokesperson Anil Dubey told PTI. On the SP and the BSP deciding to contest 38 Lok Sabha seats each in Uttar Pradesh and leaving two seats for the Congress, thereby sparing only two seats for other parties, Dubey claimed that seats were not an issue and if any party had to be included in the alliance, a way could always be found.

“If anyone has to be adjusted, there will be no problem with seats as those can be found,” he stressed.

The RLD leader said his party's intention was to defeat the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), for which like-minded parties had to join hands.
