Lalu meets Rahul for forging alliance in Bihar

January 27, 2014 18:33

Lalu Prasad met Rahul Gandhi today for the second time this month amid indications that RJD and the Congress were working out the nitty-gritty of forging a "secular alliance" in Bihar.

The RJD chief's meeting is significant as it took place a day after senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh met LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan to discuss the issue. Singh is a strong votary of secular alliance and had spoken to Prasad in last few days as well.

Both the LJP and RJD have been praising the Congress and making it clear that they want the ruling party to be an integral part of the "secular alliance" in Bihar, having 40 parliamentary seats. Senior Congress leaders have said that a decision on alliance is expected "very soon".
