Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and JD-U leader KC Tyagi on Sunday met INLD president Om Prakash Chautala at his house in Gurgaon in Haryana to ask about his well-being and also discussed political matters. The meeting with the leaders of the Janata Dal, a BJP ally, comes at a time when the 86-year-old INLD chief is whacking to forge a "third front" at the national level.
Let us tell you that the three leaders also had lunch together. O P Chautala, who is a retired chief minister of Haryana, had on Tuesday said that he will contact opposition leaders soon to forge a "third front" at the national level and had also revealed his plans of meeting Kumar and Tyagi over lunch.
Kumar and Tyagi had earlier jointly worked with O P Chautala's father and former deputy prime minister late Devi Lal. O P Chautala had last week said that the most influential need today is to get rid of the "anti-people" and "anti-farmer" government at the Centre. The BJP is the ruling party at the Centre and has alliance governments with the JJP in Haryana and with JD(U) in Bihar. He had said before September 25, the birth anniversary of Devi Lal, he will try to meet opposition leaders and urge them to come on one platform.
