CNN-IBN reports: With the Lok Sabha elections just two months away, Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party has decided to cement alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Senior LJP leader Surajbhan Singh confirmed the reports while the party is likely to make an official announcement soon.

This U-turn by Paswan comes after he was reportedly upset with no progress in the alliance between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), LJP and the Congress.

The LJP chief had earlier hinted that there is a 'Modi wave' in the country.

His party was involved in negotiations with Congress and RJD over seat sharing, but it didn't materialise. LJP National Vice President Ramchandra Paswan had expressed hope that the alliance between the trio will be finalised in a few days and will be able to put up a good show in the state.
