Lalu Prasad Yadav, RJD chief, today said that no single party may be forming a government after the Lok Sabha polls and he again reached out to the Left by saying that the door for them was always open.

Lalu Yadav said to the media in a press conference, “The era of coalition governments is here to stay for long and we want the Left and secular forces to come together. The door for the Left is always open.”

When he was asked to comment on the CPM leader Sitaram Yechury’s statement that the Left was not averse to aligning with even the JD(U) after the polls, Lalu Yadav said to the press, “do you (media) think that the Left will join forces with the communal parties. Nitish Kumar (Bihar chief minister) is sitting in the lap of communal BJP. The Left will never allow the communal forces to come to power.”

Lalu Prasad Yadav also commented on AICC general secretary Gulam Nabi Azad’s statement that it was a “big mistake” on the part of the Congress to have aligned with regional parties in Bihar and UP. He said on this that RJD is a national party and all should know that for Congress there is virtually no existence in Bihar and UP.
