With an aim to unite the entire Opposition to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad met Congress President Sonia Gandhi in the national capital on Sunday. It is pertinent to mention that it is the first meeting between the three parties in more than five years.
After the meeting, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said, "We both held
talks with Sonia Gandhi. We have to unite together and work for the country's progress. They have their party president elections after which she will speak."
Earlier on Tuesday, Lalu had said he, along with Nitish Kumar, will meet Sonia in Delhi. "Everyone needs to be alert, BJP needs to be uprooted in 2024. I will go to Delhi and meet Sonia Gandhi soon. I will also meet Rahul Gandhi after the completion of his padyatra," said the RJD supremo.
