Patna, (Bihar Times): Another blow to the Bihar Congress, which is keen to have a tie up with Lok Janshakti Party without Rashtriya Janata Dal for the next years assembly elections in the state. The former Union minister and the party leader Ram Vilas Paswan is in no way prepared to ditch Lalu Yadav.

Talking to a news agency in New Delhi recently he said that a grand alliance having LJP, RJD and Congress is required to take on the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar. I am pressing for this grand alliance, he said. Last week in an interview to a newspaper Lalu Yadav too made a similar suggestion.
Media reports said that a prominent Congress leader in Bihar met Paswan a few days back with a proposal to contest assembly polls in the state in a Congress-LJP alliance minus RJD.
The ground situation in Bihar is such that any triangular contest will benefit the NDA, Paswan is reported to have said. But the Congress, political observers feel, have not learnt from the severe jolt it received recently. Instead of allying with the RJD, which got 19-20 per cent vote it is planning to go with its junior partner LJP, which got just over six per cent votes in the recent parliamentary election. But the combination of three would certainly make a potent force, which Paswan and Lalu both are advocating. But a section of Congress is dead against any truck with the RJD.
