Patna: Once again, the sound of a big change is being heard in the politics of Bihar. In fact, there are signs of a merger of Nitish Kumar's JDU and Lalu Prasad Yadav's RJD in the state. It is believed that it will also be announced at the Delhi conference of JDU. Bihar is preparing to repeat the 27-year-old history in politics this time and there is a discussion in the political corridors that preparations for the merger of RJD and JDU are at peak.
Political pulse experts say that the old Janata Dal is about to take shape again, whose draft is almost ready, the script has been written at the RJD's Delhi conference itself. Tejashwi Yadav has been entrusted with the responsibility of changing the name and election symbol of RJD. However, whenever Tejashwi and Nitish were asked questions in this regard in the past, both of them neither directly denied nor agreed to this. This is also further fuelling speculation of this political change.
The market for discussions has become more heated ever since Lalu Prasad Yadav's slogan of social justice has been loudly raised by Nitish Kumar and Lalan Singh. According to JDU-RJD sources, after the merger, the name of the new party can be Janata Dal and the party's election symbol can also be the old 'chakra' imprint. Nitish Kumar will be the national president of this party and the reins of the state will be in the hands of Tejashwi Yadav. It is being told that this experiment of the merger is being done as a counter to the BJP. Nitish and Lalu are assuming that if the vote bank and equation of both become one in Bihar, then it will be very difficult for the BJP to beat them.
