New Delhi, September 06, 2022 (PPI-OT):Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi here and discussed the current political situation in India and ways to ensure opposition unity. Kumar also met Janata Dal (Secular) chief H.D. Kumaraswamy at the latter’s residence.
The meeting between Gandhi and Kumar at the former Congress chief’s residence lasted almost an hour. Kumar was accompanied by Bihar water resources minister and Janata Dal (United) leader Sanjay Kumar Jha. This is the first meeting between Gandhi and Kumar since the latter walked out of the NDA in Bihar and formed a ‘Mahagathbandhan’ government with RJD, Congress and outside support of the Left.
Kumar arrived in the national capital on Monday. He is likely to meet several opposition leaders including the Nationalist Congress Party’s Sharad Pawar, Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal, CPI (M)’s Sitaram Yechury, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and INLD supremo Om Prakash Chautala today.
Kumar is making attempts to bring all opposition parties together as a united force against the BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The JD (U) leader is being talked about in political circles as a key face to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
