SP-RLD divorce on the cards after Jayant’s change of heart

Hindustan Times  

After consistently launching verbal attacks on the BJP and its government at the Centre and in the states for nearly a decade, Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Chaudhary underwent a change of heart in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday following the Centre’s announcement of conferring the Bharat Ratna posthumously on his grandfather and former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Singh “Dil jeet liya,” Jayant said in a post on X, reacting to PM Modi’s post announcing the highest civilian award for the farmer leader. The voting was the first test of the unity of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, a new alliance jointly formed by 26 political parties, including the RLD, to take on National Democratic Alliance government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. RLD insiders claimed apart from getting three Lok Sabha seats after stitching an alliance with the BJP in Uttar Pradesh for 2024, the party would get at least two ministerial berths in the Yogi Adityanath Cabinet in Uttar Pradesh and one in the Modi government.
