The Hindu
After much flip-flop, the Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) on Sunday merged with Bihar ruling Janata Dal (United) and its chief and former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha was appointed as president of the JD(U) parliamentary board.
“The decision to merge with the JD(U) was taken at the party’s two-day meeting here and the people of Bihar too wanted it. It will make Bihar stronger and we’ll work under leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar,” said Mr. Kushwaha before rushing to the State JD(U) headquarters for the ceremony. Mr. Kumar and senior party leaders welcomed him into the party.More Related News
