Notably, the leaders of the JD(U), a relatively new entrant to the Mahagathbandhan, have been calling for an expeditious seat-sharing deal, a suggestion which was rebuffed by the RJD supremo a couple of days ago.
RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav today called on ally Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar who also heads the JD(U), at his residence.
Lalu Yadav was accompanied by his son Tejashwi Yadav, the Deputy Chief Minister, who briefly spoke to journalists upon returning to their residence after the meeting, and asserted that rumours of a rift were divorced from "ground reality".
"I feel sorry when you people ask questions that seem so divorced from ground reality. Why is there so much curiosity about when seat-sharing was likely to be final in Mahagathbandhan? Has the BJP-led NDA sorted it out in its own camp? Nobody cares about that," said Mr Yadav.
