Veteran Congress leader Ashok Gehlot held a long, closed-door meeting with Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, and Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday in Patna to ease tensions that have arisen between the RJD and the Congress ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.
The meeting was aimed to resolve the friction caused by seat-sharing disputes and instances of alliance partners fielding candidates against each other in certain constituencies as these developments have raised questions about the unity of the INDIA alliance.
Later, Mr Gehlot, accompanied by Bihar Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru, also met RJD leaders Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay Yadav, and Mangnilal Mandal.
