Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) chief Upendra Kushwaha on Tuesday introduced the severance of ties with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-led ‘mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance), and the formation of a new alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and different smaller events.
On Monday, State RLSP chief Bhudeo Chaudhury joined the RJD.
Earlier, former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha parted methods with the ‘mahagathbandhan’ to hitch the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
“My celebration has made alliance with the BSP, the Janwadi Party [0Socialist) and other parties to contest all the 243 Assembly seats and to form a government”, said Mr. Kushwaha told mediapersons in Patna.
Mr. Kushwaha, who had served as Minister of State for Human Resource Development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi till December 2017, slammed both the present and previous governments of the NDA and the RJD respectively on issues such as corruption, education, law and order situation and medical facilities in the State.
‘Two facets of same coin’
“I think the BJP controls both the NDA and RJD either directly or indirectly in the State”, he alleged. “Both, the previous 15 years of the RJD government and the present 15 years of the NDA government, are two facets of the same coin. The present government is mired in corruption… in government offices no work is being done without giving bribe… the educational and medical facilities in Bihar too are worse than any other States”, he said.
When asked whether he was spurned by the NDA and isolated by the ‘mahagathbandhan’ over seat-sharing as he couldn’t make an alliance with either of them, Mr. Kushwaha said, “not at all…look at the Congress party, the second largest constituent of the ‘mahagathbandhan’… the party is still skeptical on the question of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as chief minister’s face of the grand alliance and I had never been in touch with BJP leaders”. However, he remained tightlipped when asked whether his new alliance would welcome the Lok Jan Shakti Party which is yet to reveal its next course of action on coalition.
New poll slogan
Giving a new slogan for the coming polls, he said, “abki baar, sikshawali sarkar [this time, the government which gives education]” and asserted that his alliance would contest all of the seats.
Mr. Kushwaha mentioned that title of the new entrance could be declared later.

“Today, people are exploring a new option to elect a government and our alliance would make its best to provide them this option”, he mentioned, whereas denying that he was in contact with BJP leaders to hitch the NDA and to contest the approaching Lok Sabha bypoll from the Valmikinagar parliamentary constituency in West Champaran.
