May 27, 2017 17:19

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital, a day after he skipped the luncheon meeting organised by Congress President Sonia Gandhi for opposition leaders.

The issue of silt in Ganga is getting serious, there is a danger of flood. I thought I should meet PM on this issue separately, said Kumar after meeting with the PM, adding that he had met Sonia Gandhi on April 20 to discuss opposition unity and presidential election.

Gandhi had organised a luncheon meeting, which was attended by the leaders of 17 parties, as part of efforts to forge an opposition unity particularly in the context of upcoming presidential polls. Kumar had sought to downplay his absence from Gandhi's meeting on Thursday.
