Kushwaha, party back in JDU fold
Patna
The Rashtriya Lok Samta Party, headed by the former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha, on Sunday merged with the JDU. RLSP president admitted he would abide by the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Although Kushwaha in his speech earlier had claimed the merger was unconditional and in the interest of the state, he was immediately appointed chairman of the Central Parliamentary Board of the JDU. It is also said he got an assurance his wife Snehlata Sinha would be nominated as an MLC and then appointed as a minister. However, Kushwaha denied having received any commitment for his wife.
