The AG says the apart from SODELPA the NFP and FLP as yet, don’t have a policy on coalitions. “The reality of course is that when you form a coalition, you need to be able to know what are your party’s policies, and to date no body realy knows what are the party’s policies the statement of SODELPA has clarified some of the particular policy position, of the party but what is the policy position of the other two members of UFDF, that doesn’t appear to be clear”, NFP President Paman Pratap Singh says they don’t agree with a few policies under the UFDF banner._ Each party is an independent party, they should be allowed to fight their own elections, and there is no change of that policy. Shanal Sivan: You are under UFDF, you are agreeing to some points, but as individual parties you are not agreeing to key points?
