RLSP, LJP REFUTE SPECULATION ABOUT QUITTING NDA

PATNA: Bharatiya Janata Party allies Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) on Saturday said they would not quit the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Amid speculation that RLSP chief and Union Minister Upender Kushwaha might follow in the footsteps of the Hindustani Awam Morcha and leave the NDA, Kushwaha said that the speculation was baseless and far from the truth. LJP chief and Union Minister Ramvilas Paswan also said that his party was with the NDA. “LJP is in NDA and will remain with it,” he said.
