Upendra Kushwaha says will not participate in NDA meet, likely to quit

The Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) president Upendra Kushwaha may quit the BJP-led NDA, as the leader has said that he will not participate in the meeting of NDA allies today. 

The development comes ahead of the start of the Winter Session.

The Rashtriya Lok Samta Party chief has been targeting the BJP and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a key ally of the ruling party, for weeks.

He has been upset with the BJP after it asserted that the RLSP would not be given more than two seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, even as it went out of way to accommodate Kumar by agreeing that the saffron party and the JD(U) would fight equal number of seats. 

Bihar sends 40 MPs to Lok Sabha.
