The elections alliance between the Congress and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) has come under strain following a dispute over Kanth Assembly seat in Moradabad district. Both the Congress and the RLD have declared their respective candidates from the same seat. We had offered Sikri seat to RLD and it was decided that we’ll field our nominee from Kanth, yet the RLD also declared its candidate from there, said the Congress leaders here.
The dispute has also affected the proposed joint rally of Rahul Gandhi and RLD chief Ajit Singh at Meerut scheduled on next Saturday. The rally has been deferred, according to party sources here.
