New Delhi, April 14 -- Former Union Minister and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras officially announced his party's exit from the BJP-JD(U) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), ahead of the Bihar Assembly Elections. He alleged that the BJP-led coalition had consistently sidelined and disrespected the RLJP due to its Dalit-centric focus.

"I was with the NDA from 2014 till date. We were loyal allies of the NDA. You must have seen that when Lok Sabha elections were held, people of NDA did injustice to our party, as it is a Dalit party. Still, in the national interest, our party decided to support NDA in the elections," ANI quoted Pashupati Kumar Paras as saying.
