Nitish-led JD(U) to contest 4-5 seats in Gujarat

New Delhi: The Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) on Saturday said it will contest its "traditional" four to five seats in Gujarat and urged the Election Commission to reject the Sharad Yadav faction's claim over the party symbol so that it can fight the assembly election.
Its chief spokesperson K C Tyagi said there have been no talks with the BJP for alliance in Gujarat assembly polls, though they are part of the NDA.
Hitting out at the rival faction, Tyagi cited documents filed with the EC by its then general secretary Javed Raza, who is now with Yadav, on unanimous election of Nitish Kumar as its president last year.
"The rival faction has submitted a fresh set of documents supporting its claim on the party symbol 'arrow' in the EC on October 26 despite the fact that poll body has already announced that JD (U) led by Nitish Kumar is the real Janata Dal (United)," he said.
The JD(U) leader alleged that the Sharad Yadav-led group has submitted "forged" documents in the Election Commission.
