RLD leader Jayant Chaudhary stated that his decision to join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was made without prior planning and was based on consultations with all MLAs and party workers.
“…I took this decision after speaking to all the MLAs and workers of my party. There was no big planning behind this decision, or we had decided this a long time back. We had to take this decision within a short time because of the situation. We want to do something good for the country, our people,” Chaudhary said speaking to reporters in Delhi on Monday.
Speaking on the birth anniversary of Chaudhary Ajit Singh, the RLD president said, “The change that this country has seen, the national development that took place, reforms and changes that took place in people’s lives is due to the everyday role played by Chaudhury Ajit Singh. The country’s farmers considers him to be their own even today. He had been in the political circle for a long time. He had spent a lot of time with Chaudhury Charan Singh…”
Chaudhary said that Bharat Ratna awarded to his grandfather, Chaudhury Charan Singh, Jayant Chaudhury said that this honour is not just for the Chaudhury family and his party but for the entire country.
“We are elated with the honour of Bharat Ratna. This honour is not just for our family, our party but for the entire country. This is for the honour of all farmers, youths, poor of our country,” he said.
