Both the Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) MLAs- - Sudhanshu Shekhar and Lalan Paswan- - and its solitary MLC-Sanjiv Singh Shyam-created an impression to this impact at a joint question and answer session here.

They also pitched for a ministerial berth for Shekhar a first-term MLA and the youngest among the three.

We will also approach the Election Commission with the case that we speak to the genuine RLSP and we appreciate the help of most laborers and office-bearers in the gathering, Shyam said clarifying that the RLSP was going towards a part.

We had been expressing since long that we were supportive of the RLSP staying in the NDA however Kushwaha, who was progressively intrigued by his own additions, paid no notice, Shyam said indicating the RLSP boss stopping declaration on Monday.

The RLSP MLC claimed that Khushwaha had generally been making noises about the RLSP bot being considered for a clerical compartment after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar came back to the NDA a year ago.
