Paswan says option of alliance with BJP is open

February 26, 2014

New Delhi, Feb 26:The Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Wednesday said it is looking for options for an alliance and the "option of BJP is open".

"We are looking for alternate alliance partners as there is a deadlock with existing allies," LJP leader Chirag Paswan said after a meeting of the party's parliamentary board.paswan_chirag_paswan

LJP chief Ramvilas Paswan, Chirag's father, added: "We have kept the option of BJP open."

Ramvilas Paswan said his party has had grievances with the Lalu-Prasad led Rashtriya Janata Dal since long, and the talks for an alliance with the Congress did not show much progress.

"Elections are at the door, and they (Congress and RJD) have not taken any decision, what can we do," he said.

BJP sources, however, indicated an alliance with the LJP is almost final and an announcement will be made soon.

New Delhi, Jan 16: The Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government on Thursday rejected the mercy plea of Mukesh, one of the convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya case.

The mercy plea was then forwarded to Lieutenant Governor, who has now sent it to Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

The convicts were sentenced to death for raping a 23-year-old woman in a moving bus in the national capital on the intervening night of December 16-17, 2012.

The victim, who was later given the name Nirbhaya, had succumbed to injuries at a hospital in Singapore where she had been airlifted for medical treatment.
