"We welcome the JD-U to separate from the BJP and join secular forces," NCP leader D P Tripathi said, talking to reporters after a meeting of the state NCP, at which party supremo Sharad Pawar was present.

Asked whether he meant UPA or the Federal Front by secular forces, Tripathi said, "Yes, the UPA coalition. We are part of the UPA. We are not with any front. We are with the UPA."
