Sharad Yadav on Tuesday rubbished talk of a merger between his Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) and Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP), led by former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha.
“The merger speculation and some reports are concocted. No discussion has taken place in this direction,” Yadav said.
Yadav did not deny chances of a merger during his recent trip to Ranchi to meet RJD chief Lalu Prasad. However, RLSP sources said that merger talks might have “fallen through because of pressure from RJD chief Lalu Prasad”.
