Mulayam sends feelers to BSP

NEW DELHI, July 3: Rashtriya Loktantrik Morcha convenor Mulayam Singh Yadav today invited Bahujan Samaj Party to join the Morcha to dislodge the “anti-poor” BJP-led government at the Centre.

Addressing a joint press conference with Rashtriya Janata Dal president Laloo Prasad Yadav here said, “Everyone, including BSP, has welcomed the formation of the Morcha and we are inviting all like minded secular forces to join us to dislodge the BJP-led coalition”. However, he said, it was up to the BSP to decide on joining hands with the morcha in its effort to pull down the coalition government at the Centre.

The two leaders announced plans to launch a country wide agitation against the Centre and said the Morcha will organise rallies in Patna on July 29 and Lucknow on August three to apprise the people of the failure of the government.
