RLSP's election move will be in interest of Bihar: Kushwaha

Kushwaha, who had quit as Union minister in 2018 accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of betraying Bihar, had shown interest in re-joining the NDA but there was no positive response from the political alliance.

Patna: Amid speculations about which political alliance would the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) join or go all alone in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, party chief Upendra Kushwaha has said that he would take a decision in this regard soon.

"The decision would certainly be in the interest of people of Bihar and the party," he said in a video message.

Kushwaha, who had quit as Union minister in 2018 accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of betraying Bihar, had shown interest in re-joining the NDA but there was no positive response from the political alliance.

Kushwaha also quit the grand alliance (mahagathbandhan) last week due to delay in seat-sharing talks with RJD.
