Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Ram Vilas Paswan on Monday said that the party would do anything to destroy the alliance between Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav for the upcoming elections in the state.

"We want to destroy the Lalu-Nitish coming together so will do whatever is possible for that. We have nothing to fear, the NDA alliance is together," said Paswan.

The BJP has joined forces with Upendra Khuswaha's Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP), Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and former chief minister Jitan Ram Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) for the assembly elections in Bihar, scheduled to be held later this year.

However, the coming together of RJD, JD(U), Congress and NCP under the Janata Parivar presents a very formidable challenge to the NDA in the assembly elections to be held later this year.
