Two days ago, the BJP's Union Minister Nityanand Rai met both factions and pitched the idea of a merger.
The split of the late Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party -- once instrumental in cutting down Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United and giving the BJP the upper hand -- is now proving a headache for the BJP. The party wants both factions under a single umbrella to prevent a split in the Paswan votes.
Two days ago, the BJP's Union Minister Nityanand Rai met both factions and pitched the idea of a merger. But Paswan's brother, Pashupati Nath Paras, currently the Minister of Food Processing Industries in the Central government, has turned it down.
Mr Paras said he had a "good talk" with Nityanand Rai. "He said uncle, nephew, get together, I said it is not possible. When things go wrong, when the milk curdles, no matter how hard you try, you get no butter," he added.
