So, the meeting with RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, JD-U chief Sharad Yadav and SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav ends. "Our alliance will remain intact," Sharad Yadav said. "Gathbandhan pehle bhi tha, abhi bhi hai aur aage bhi rahega. The alliance was there, it is still exists, and it will always exist." 


Both leaders from Bihar met Mulayam Singh Yadav to convince him to rethink his exit from the Janata Parivaar, also dubbed the Grand Alliance, which is contesting the Bihar election with Nitish Kumar as its candidate for Chief Minister.

What could also work is that Lalu's daughter is married to Mulayam Singh Yadav's grand-nephew.


Yesterday, Mulayam Singh Yadav said his Samajwadi Party will contest Bihar alone, because it was assigned a paltry five of Bihar's 243 seats.
