Union minister and RLSP chief Upendra Kushwaha Monday downplayed speculations on seat-sharing arrangement among NDA constituents, saying the issue is being debated more in the media than among political parties.
"When we think it necessary, we will speak to you (media) about it (alliance and seat-sharing)," Kushwaha told reporters at his party officer here.
He said the media is "writing something today, another thing tomorrow. There is no role of political parties in it."
Asked about his party's senior leader Nagmani's statement on Saturday that the RLSP is being belittled and indirectly told to quit the NDA and rush into the arms of the opposition Mahagathbandhan, Kushwaha said, "I don't know who is saying what...I am expressing my viewpoint on the issue."
Asked for his comment on much publicised 20-20 formula for seat-sharing in the NDA, Kushwaha said, "I don't have the experience of playing cricket. We are the people who used to play gilli-danda...So I don't know about 20-20 match."
