The UPA government’s managers went into overdrive scouting for allies to defeat the opposition-sponsored cut motion in the Lok Sabha. Now it emerges tha the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), a new entrant to the so-called Third Front, was ready to trade its loyalty – for a price.
Sources say the RLD demanded the lucrative agricultural ministry but was told off! Incidentally, the RLD had won only five seats in the last Lok Sabha elections.
