Ahead of the assembly elections, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) is seeking to strengthen its presence in West UP. Over the past few months, the party has been actively inducting new leaders and building a new team of workers at the grassroots level.RLD president and Union Minister of State Jayant Chaudhary told ET that ahead of the UP elections, the party will establish a presence in three regions - Hastinapur, Braj and Ruhelkhand - all part of West UP."We are building a 'Team RLD' parallel to our organisational network, which includes youth, farmers and people from all walks of life. In the past few months, we have appointed office bearers and members of Team RLD across all villages in these three regions," Chaudhary told ET.The three regions have around 75 assembly seats. While other NDA allies have openly discussed the number of seats they want to contest in the alliance, RLD is silent on the issue."We are not in conflict but complementary to the NDA. That's why none of our party leaders will say anything about the number of seats...," KC Tyagi, RLD parliamentary board president, told ET.
