To gain entry into the Mayawati-Akhilesh Yadav club in Uttar Pradesh, Ajit Singh's Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) may have to pare down its expectations by half. The RLD wanted to contest six of Uttar Pradesh's 80 seats in the national election; it could end up with three. Ajit Singh's son Jayant Chaudhary, the RLD vice-president, met with Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow on a seat-sharing arrangement for the national election due by May.
