Now, LJP Legislature Party merges with JD-U

The Opposition fighting for its space in Bihar suffered another jolt today when the three-member LJP Legislature Party in the State Legislative Council merged with the JD-U.

The merger was announced by the council chairman Tarakant Jha.

Earlier, the lone JMM member in the Bihar assembly had merged with the JD-U, taking its total tally to 115.

A couple of days back, a senior RJD leader Dr Shakeel Ahmad Khan had quit the party. He has not announced which party he is joining but he looks to be headed for the JD-U.
