Lucknow:The new found opposition unity in Uttar Pradesh will be on test once again in the coming Kairana Lok Sabha bypoll with the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) appearing keen on throwing its hat in the ring.
Led by former union minister Ajit Singh, the RLD which has considerable influence in western UP, believes that both the caste and communal equations there are in its favour.
“The decision on which party will be given the ticket is for the senior leaders of opposition parties to decide…we want that the united opposition which had taken shape in the recent Lok Sabha by-elections (in Gorakhpur and Phulpur) should be expanded to defeat the BJP,” RLD national spokesman Anil Dubey told PTI on Tuesday.
