No differences with LJP, says BJP

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan called on the LJP Chief Ram Vilas Paswan on Tuesday morning (September 15) after which he downplayed the reports of continued differences, saying NDA accords due respect to suggestions of Paswan. "Ram Vilas Paswan ji a leader of stature," he said, recalling that leaders of all NDA allies had yesterday said they would work together to ensure the victory of the ruling alliance in Bihar assembly polls. "There was no such demand (about more seats)....Nobody said any such thing (when Shah announced the seat sharing pact)," he said when asked whether the LJP was angry as it wanted more seats. Ram Vilas Paswan refused to speak on the issue, saying he does not talk to the media about such things and left it to his son to clear the air.
