"A proposal in this regard has come from JVM, which will formally merge with BJP," Munda said at a function here after another party Jharkhand Disom Party (JDP) today merged with BJP.
The merger will take place on August 20, a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Jharkhand.
Munda however, refused to divulge details of the merger when asked whether JVM supremo-cum-former Jharkhand Chief Minister Babulal Marandi would return to BJP.
Four JVM MLAs joined BJP at a function held in Ranchi recently.
