Paswan keeps off Lalu rally
Patna, Aug. 7: The LJP chief, Mr Ram Vilas Paswan, on Saturday skipped his ally RJD’s grand public meeting chaired by Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav in Chapra despite a pre-scheduled programme to attend it. The dalit leader’s absence disappointed many RJD leaders and sparked off rumours that Mr Paswan may be drifting apart.
Even as LJP leaders claimed Mr Paswan’s sudden sickness prevented him from attending the RJD’s high-voltage public meeting organised to induct senior JD(U) leader Prabhunath Singh and two JD(U) MLAs, strong statements made by a senior LJP legislator on Saturday hinted at the rifts between the RJD and the LJP widening due to disagreements over sharing of seats for the Assembly polls. “We are still sticking to the number of seats we want to contest in alliance with the RJD,” 0said LJP legislator Izhar.
