2015 Bihar Assembly Elections - Mulayam Singh Yadav exits Janata Parivar and forms a Third Front

Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has exited the Janata Parivar and

SP general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav on Thursday Sep 17,2015 said the front would contest all 243 seats in Bihar even if it would damage the non-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance of the Congress, the Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), known as Maha-Gathbandhan.
