Flirting with BJP and teasing Congress Ram Vilas Paswan BJP alliance certain?

He resigned as Union Coal and Mines Minister in 2002, saying his decision was taken in interest of upholding secular principles as it is not enough to merely criticise incidents in Gujarat. Twelve years later, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Chief Ram Vilas Paswan seems all set to return to National Democratic Alliance (NDA). At the moment the BJP and the LJP are tight-lipped over an alliance but the Congress which has been kept on the edge has criticised Paswans impending move. Even as the LJP keeps its cards close to its chest, the Congress says it is surprised by talk of the party joining the NDA fold. They say this is mere speculation.
