Patna: The Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has decided to go solo in the upcoming assembly polls in Bihar.
While refusing to reveal more details, Chirag Paswan, the LJP Chief said: “Let me enjoy the moment. I will not speak more, but we will win the battle.”
Even LJP National General Secretary Abdul Khaliq has said that the LJP was not going to join hands with the Janata Dal (United) due to ideological difference. “Then again, the ‘differences’ are with the JDU and not with the BJP,” he clarified.
“At the national level and in Lok Sabha elections, Lok Janshakti Party shares a strong alliance with BJP and our candidate will fight the election against JDU on some seats,” Khaliq said.
What needs to be noted is that the LJP has announced to field candidates against JDU and not against the BJP, but the JDU and the BJP are allies in Bihar.
The meeting on Sunday was earlier scheduled to be held on Saturday but the LJP leaders decided to postpone it after Chirag’s father, Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, was hospitalised. Paswan later underwent heart surgery at a hospital in Delhi.
The Assembly poll in Bihar will be held in three phases on October 28, November 3, and November 7. The counting of votes will take place on November 10.
