Party chief Chirag Paswan could announce tie-up later this week
The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is likely to form a new alliance with Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) to contest the upcoming State Council polls for 24 seats. The party chief Chirag Paswan may make this announcement on November 28, the party’s foundation day.
The party’s parliamentary board in its meeting on November 20 (Saturday) in Patna decided to send a proposal to party chief Chirag Paswan to explore an option of forming a new alliance to contest the upcoming Council elections which are likely to be held early next year.
“In our meeting we reviewed our performance in recently held two by-polls in the State and decided to contest the MLC elections on 24 seats with a new alliance. But, it is upto our party’s national president to take a final call on this,” LJP (Ram Vilas) spokesperson Ashraf Ansari told The Hindu over phone.
