The Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) on Thursday dismissed speculation about it joining the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and said its president Chaudhary Jayant Singh will be participating in the third meeting of the Opposition bloc, the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), in Mumbai on August 31 and September 1.
A delegation of RLD MLAs had met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday, setting off speculation that the party might join the BJP-led NDA. Mr. Singh had also skipped the voting in the Rajya Sabha on the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which members of the INDIA alliance had opposed.
