Bihar elections: Upendra Kushwaha's RLSP in a spot? Reports say BJP, Mahagathbandhan not interested

India Today  

With less than a month left for the Bihar assembly election, former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Samta Party appears to be in a spot of botheration. On the other hand, doors for RLSP have also closed in the Mahagathbandhan after Upendra Kushwaha refused to accept RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as the Mahagathbandhan's leader. On September 24, the RLSP said it regrets the RJD's "indifference" towards its efforts to keep the Grand Alliance intact. Quoting unnamed sources, the report added that Kushwaha has also spoken to Pappu Yadav, chief of the Jan Adhikar Party, and "is in touch with Mukesh Sahni's Vikas-sheel Insaan Party, Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM and Om Prakash Rajbhar's Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party".
