Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav had hoped Rahul Gandhi will be present for the meeting, but he is in Kerala, leading the Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The two top leaders of the Grand Alliance in Bihar -- Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Yadav -- will meet Congress chief Sonia Gandhi in Delhi on Sunday evening, sources have said. This will be their first meet in more than six years. Sources said the two Bihar leaders had also hoped that Rahul Gandhi will be present for the meeting. But Mr Gandhi is in Kerala, leading the Congress's Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Nitish Kumar and Sonia Gandhi had met last at an Iftaar ahead of Bihar elections in 2015.
The Bihar Chief Minister had met Rahul Gandhi during his last visit to Delhi earlier this month. Mrs Gandhi was abroad at the time for medical treatment.
As for Mr Yadav, he was jailed in 2018 in several fodder scam cases, after which came the pandemic-imposed isolation. In the coming weeks, the ailing leader who is out on bail, will be going to Singapore for a kidney transplant.
