Setback for Kushwaha as RLSP splits, all three MLAs announce to stay with NDA
Patna, Dec 15 (TheBiharPost/IBNS)The Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) headed by former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha suffered split on Saturday days after the party pulled out of the NDA.
All the three state lawmakers—two members form the Bihar state assembly and one from the Bihar legislative council, today announced to stay with the NDA claiming they are represent the “real” RLSP.
The lawmakers made this announcement while holding a formal press conference. With the split, the RLSP of Kushwaha has been left with no legislator to represent the party in any House of Bihar legislature.
“We have nothing to do with Kushwaha who follows the caste-based politics. We are with the NDA and will stay with it,” jointly announced the three RLSP legislators who included Sanjeev Shyam Singh, Sudhanshu Shekhar and Lalan Paswan.
They also staked their claim on RLSP’s poll symbol saying they would move the Election Commission if the situation warranted so.
Kushwaha had resigned last week as a minister from the Narendra Modi government and also walked out of the NDA last week blaming the Prime Minister for failing to fulfill the pre-poll promises he had made to the voters.
