New Delhi: On the concluding day of the party's national executive on Tuesday, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) announced that it was allying with Jan Morcha in the Uttar Pradesh.
LJP chief and Steel and Chemicals and Fertlisers Minister, Ram Vilas Paswan, urged all "like-minded parties" to come on a common platform to ensure the defeat of both Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party in the upcoming Assembly elections.
"If the SP and BSP as well as BJP have to be defeated, all other parties need to come on a common platform," PTI quoted Paswan as saying.
Paswan was unanimously re-elected President of the LJP for a period of three years by the party's national executive. This is the third time that Paswan has been elected the chief of the party formed on November 28, 2000.
At the national executive, party members discussed the poll strategy for the upcoming Assembly polls in four states — Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttaranchal and Manipur.
LJP also demanded special budgetary allocations as well as reservations in the private sector for the backward communities and Muslims.
The LJP national executive resolved that on the basis of the Sachar committee report, separate funds should be allocated in all the Central and state government schemes for the community. A similar demand for special plan allocation was made for dalits.
