The Ram Vilas Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party on Saturday decided to fight the coming assembly polls on its own.

"It has been unanimously decided to contest the polls in Bihar, Jharkhand and Haryana on our own... If the JD-U wants to join hands with LJP, then it will have to break its alliance with BJP and in case Congress and Left Front want to have alliance with LJP, they are warmly welcome," Paswan said after a meeting of the party's national executive.

He said the "RJD misrule" in Bihar had taken the state to the brink of destruction.

He also criticised the BJP and called it "communally divisive".

Asked whether his party was having informal talks with the JD-U, the Union steel minister said, "We are political creatures and therefore we talk. But policy is not something that one changes everyday like clothes."
