BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that both JD(U) and BJP needed Modi. "It is wrong to say that we have given BJP any ultimatum. That report is wrong. We are definitely concerned over the sequence of events in BJP in last few days," Yadav said, adding that these and other issues would be discussed at a two-day party meeting beginning tomorrow.

Asked about a rapproachment with BJP, he said, "Why not? Options are still not closed." Yadav refused to talk about the possibility of a 'Federal Front' mooted by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

 "The question does not arise now. NDA still exists. Where has NDA broken up that you are talking of a Third Front," he said.
