Bihar BJP leaders who joined Lok Janshakti Party may come back soon

PATNA: Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), which split from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) before the Bihar Assembly elections, is going through a tough time to retain its rank and file. After the LJP's lone MLA Rajkumar Singh joined the Janata Dal (United), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also gearing up to break the LJP. Several BJP leaders had jumped ship to join Chirag Paswan's LJP after they were wither denied tickets or were unhappy with the party. But now they are getting ready to return to the saffron fold. In the last year's assembly elections, the LJP could manage to win just one seat, while the BJP had a good strike rate, winning as many as 74 seats, to play the big brother role in the NDA. Sources in the BJP say that the BJP leadership is not that strict towards the leaders who left the party and joined the LJP. It is believed that these leaders will once again join the BJP. (IANS)
