After days of speculation, on Monday, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhary announced that his party was quitting the INDIA alliance of Opposition parties and joining the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
By cautiously switching alliances over the space of two years, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) has ensured a presence in both Houses of Parliament as well as the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly and Council.
With the BJP suffering a setback in Uttar Pradesh in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections, the new Union Council of Ministers saw the state’s representation drop from 14 in the outgoing government to nine.
For the first time since 1977, or in nearly 50 years, the Baghpat Lok Sabha seat does not have a candidate from Chaudhary Charan Singh’s family. But, contrary to expectations, it is turning out to be advantageous for the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD).
Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Singh Chaudhary on Tuesday attributed his decision to join hands with the BJP just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections to the Centre conferring Bharat Ratna on former prime minister and his grandfather Chaudhary Charan Singh.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday expanded his Council of Ministers, inducting four new ministers including two from allies – the Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) – ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Uttar Pradesh Cabinet expansion: The Uttar Pradesh government expanded its Cabinet on Tuesday. Four new minister took oath as ministers. These included Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) MLA Anil Kumar and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Dara Singh Chauhan and Sunil Kumar Sharma.
As the BJP remains mum on a formal confirmation of the alliance announced by Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhary 10 days ago, workers in both parties are getting anxious. Senior leaders, however, said the tie-up was all but sealed.
Messages celebrating the Bharat Ratna for Chaudhary Charan Singh flank roads all through Baghpat. Some have been put up by the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), a reincarnation of the party Charan Singh founded; others by the BJP. What it means for Uttar Pradesh’s newest allies, though, is not as clear.
