Patna, (Bihar Times): With the withdrawal of the Lok Janshakti Party candidate, Shobha Yadav, from the Bikramganj parliamentary by-poll the contest has virtually become one to one with the RJD’s Ashok Khushwaha set to take on Janata Dal (United) Meena Singh, the first wife of late, Ajit Singh, who died in an accident last August.

Earlier the Nationalist Congress Party too withdrew its candidate. The LJP withdrawal came after the intervention of the Congress high command. The united fight by UPA may pose a big challenge to the ruling Janata Dal (United), where there is no dearth of dissidents.

The withdrawal of the LJP suggests that whatever may be the utterances of its leader Ram Vilas Paswan the truth is that he will have to make compromise with the other UPA constituents and concede the limitation of
his party.
