RLD rules out pre-poll alliance with BSP or BJP

MUZAFFARNAGAR: Rashtriya Lokdal today ruled out any pre-poll alliance with BSP or BJP in Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, due next year.

"RLD will not ally with either BSP or BJP. We will only ally with those parties who support our demand for carving a separate Harit Pradesh out of western Uttar Pradesh," RLD president Ajit Singh told reporters here.

Criticising the BJP for planning to hoist the national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on Republic Day tomorrow, he said it would create a breach of peace in the Valley.
