LS polls: RLD denies talks with Congress on tie-up

Lucknow, Choudhury Ajit Singh-led Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) has vehemently denied any truck with Congress in the Lok Sabha elections and reiterated that the party has already decided to have a pact with the SP-BSP Mahagathbandhan in Uttar Pradesh. In a fresh statement issued here on Thursday, RLD’s vice-present Jayant Choudhury said that his party was working for the opposition unity to counter the BJP’s anti-farmer and anti-youth policies. “Working on this agenda, we have already prepared a strong opposition platform comprising SP-BSP and RLD combination,” he said.
