TV9 News: Janata Parivar: Lalu Prasad-Mulayam Singh-Nitish Kumar-Deve Gowda Alliance Against Narendra Modi...,

The once-firebrand young Turks of the socialist movement, who fell apart more than two decades ago, are set to re-unite as a family of ageing warriors. The process will begin with a huddle in Delhi on Thursday, and if all goes well, Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), Lalu Prasad’s RJD, HD Deve Gowda’s JD(S), and Om Prakash Chautala’s INLD will merge as a new party under the leadership of former wrestler and SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav.

ore than love for one another, it is the fear of rapidly diminishing political relevance and rise of BJP under PM Narendra Modi that is driving the process.

The new entity could be named the Samajwadi Janata Dal.

Given the SP’s better credentials — being in power in Uttar Pradesh and also having the most MPs in Parliament among the lot — it is likely that Mulayam will be asked to lead the new party in the making. “However, a mechanism for collective leadership will also be worked out,” sources said.
