Former MP Shahid Siddiqui has joined Rashtriya Lok Dal after a meeting with party’s chief Jayant Chaudhary on Monday. Also, former general secretary of Bahujan Samaj Party Chaudhary Mohammed Islam also joined RLD after a meeting with Jayant Chaudhary.
RLD national spokesman Anupam Mishra said public support for RLD was increasing each passing day due to growing popularity of party chief Jayant Chaudhary. He said more leaders from different political parties and people having positive thinking would be joining the RLD.
“Both these leaders have a good following in west UP which is a stronghold of the RLD. Despite all Jat and Muslim divide in west UP, the RLD successfully convinced the voters of both the sects by way of tight rope balancing. The joining of Muslim leaders will further strengthen RLD’s position in west UP,” Mishra said.
