Putting to rest the buzz in the sections of the media that Rashtriya Lok Dal is joining the Bharatiya Janta Party-led National Democratic Alliance, party chief Chaudhary Jayant Singh told The Hindu on July 11 that he would be attending the Opposition meeting in Bengaluru on July 17.
A close aide of Mr. Singh said that the news of the party joining the NDA was “BJP-sponsored” and that Mr. Singh had already booked a flight for Bengaluru for the second round of talks between the Opposition parties to draw a strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
