As election fever hots up, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav met Union Minister for Steel, Chemicals and Fertilisers Ramvilas Paswan. During the meeting, the two exchanged seat sharing formulas.
"The party has said that we will contest in 16 seats. A formula has come from their side also. Now we will discuss this and then the matter will be taken forward," Paswan said.
However, Lalu has said there's no question of contesting less seats.
"It is in your mind and it is your creation. No party enters into an alliance by sacrificing its interests. It is your creation," the RJD chief said.
Lalu Prasad and Ram Vilas Paswan have known prime ministerial ambitions but still, Paswan acknowledged that at the moment, the UPA had no other choice but Manmohan Singh for the post.
