HAM leader Shakuni to meet Rajnath

Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) state president Shakuni Chaudhary will meet union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at his residence in the national capital on Friday.

“I would be discussing the law and order issue of my constituency, which is a Naxal belt,” Chaudhary told thestatesman.com.

When asked about his party’s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the coming elections, Chaudhary said: “Definitely, the talks for the coming assembly elections will also be on my priority list and we would discuss the road-map for the elections.”

However, the leader refused to comment on the seat sharing with its alliance partner.

The meeting of the two leaders is considered very important as it will decide the course to tackle the force of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and ruling Nitish Kumar led Janata Dal (United) (JD-U), who announced their ‘grand alliance’ on 8 June to take on the BJP.

Earlier on Thursday, Jitan Ram Manjhi met BJP president Amit Shah in the national capital and announced his party’s alliance with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the Bihar polls.
