New Delhi, Jan 30: Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has decided to contest all seats in West Bengal and Assam in the upcoming Assembly elections.
“Lok Janshakti Party has decided to contest all seats in West Bengal and Assam in the ensuing elections, after considering the view of State units that it will help in expanding and strengthening Party’s base,” said Abdul Khaliq, LJP Secretary-General.
The BJP had invited Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan to attend the NDA meeting on Saturday to discuss the ruling bloc’s agenda for the Budget session of Parliament, but the JD(U)’s protest to the move is likely to have prompted him to skip the event.
Paswan did not attend the virtual meeting due to health reasons, and noted he had also skipped the all-party meet held earlier in the day.
