Merger of 'Janata Parivar' parties a permanent alliance: Lalu

December 07, 2014 17:52

The coming together of erstwhile 'Janata Parivar' is a "permanent alliance", RJD chief Lalu Prasad said today, noting that such a united front to fight BJP was being missed for long.

"It is a permanent alliance. We have been missing it for long. Now its has been cemented," Lalu told reporters in Lucknow.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal President was here for a pre-engagement ceremony of his daughter Raj Lakshmi with SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav's grandson and Lok Sabha member Tej Pratap Yadav.

Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are neighbouring states and it is a relationship of hearts, Lalu said on forging political unity as well as establishing family ties with Mulayam.

Asked about the new political formation, the RJD chief said 'Netaji' (Mulayam) has been authorised to take further decision.

"Netaji has been authorised to take further decision. There is no ego problem now," he said.

The two Yadavs are in the forefront of consolidation of opposition forces, bringing six constituents of the erstwhile 'Janata Parivar' under the banner of one party.
