BJP-RLD tie up before LS polls

The BJP on Tuesday said it has entered into a "formidable" alliance with the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) in Uttar Pradesh for the LokSabha polls but stopped short of giving details of the tie-up, saying it would be done at an appropriate time.

"We have almost finalised an alliance pact with RLD (in Uttar Pradesh) but the seat arrangement details and announcement would be made only at an appropriate time," party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar told reporters here.

Asked if the party feared that the RLD could part ways after the Lok Sabha polls, Javedakar said the alliance they have arrived at is "formidable."

"In fact, in the post-poll situation there would be many more parties which would join us," Javedekar said, dismissing speculative reports that some allies were planning to leave NDA in the post-poll scenario.

On when some announcement will be made on the alliance reached between the two parties, Javedekar said, "Any announcement of an alliance is made only in the presence of the heads of both parties, you (the media) should understand these things."
