Indicating the delay in merger of Janata Parivar, the splinter groups of erstwhile Janata Party, Samajwadi Party said complex formalities of the Election Commission will take some time in the process.

“Generally it is considered that every thing is completed within no time. Even if all parties are agreed, there are a lot of restrictions and formalities of Election Commission, and it will take some time to complete them,” SP National General Secretary Ram Gopal Yadav said on Tuesday.

When asked about the merger of JD(U), SP, RJD and other parties, he said that, “All the parties will be merged, it's final.” In a move aimed at consolidation of opposition forces, six constituents of the erstwhile Janata Party decided to merge on December 4 at a meeting in New Delhi and had authorised SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav to work out the “modalities” in that direction. In their first joint action outside Parliament, SP, Janata Dal (Secular), Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal (U), Indian National Lok Dal and Samajwadi Janata Party held a dharna on December 22 against the governments “failure” to bring back black money stashed abroad, its alleged U-turn on farmers’ issue and rising unemployment.
