Indore: Union Minister Ramvilas Paswan on Tuesday ruled out any adverse impact due to the proposed merger of erstwhile Janata Parivar parties on the prospective alliance between his Lok Janshakti Party and the BJP in upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar.
“The amalgamation of the constituents of Janata Parivar will not affect the prospects of the alliance between BJP and LJP in Bihar polls. We are hopeful that BJP-LJP combine will form government in Bihar by winning 75 per cent of total seats (in Bihar),” Paswan said.
Janata Parivar parties are set to merge on Wednesday under the leadership of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, and a formal announcement of the new entity, to be named either Samajwadi Janata Party of Samajwadi Janata Dal with cycle as its symbol is set to be made after a meeting at Yadav’s residence.
Paswan praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the country’s image has improved globally since he took reins of power.
Taking potshots at the amalgamation, the Food and Civil Supplies Minister said, “Even if hundred lame persons come together they cannot become a wrestler.”
The LJP President termed as “baseless” the allegations levelled by opposition regarding the controversial Land Acquisition Bill.
The legislation is prepared for the development of country, and its provisions will benefit farmers more than their expectations, he said.
