"We will definitely participate in the rally if RJD extends its invitation to our leader Nitish Kumar," Bihar JD(U) chief spokesman Sanjay Singh told reporters here.
Singh was addressing the media at the end of a day-long state executive meeting of the party.
A section in the media had reported that the JD(U) would not participate in the RJD's "BJP hatao, desh bachao" rally, scheduled to be held on August 27 in Patna.
The differences between the two major partners of the alliance surfaced ever since the JD(U) unilaterally announced its support to former Bihar Governor Ram Nath Kovind, NDA's presidential nominee, without waiting for the united candidate of the Opposition.
Singh asserted, "When we (JD-U) were part of NDA, we had supported UPA nominee Pranab Mukherjee. Now we have supported Ram Nath Kovind as an individual and not extended its (JDU's) support to BJP... We had also supported demonetisation. We are moving on our own agenda. We are not 'Pichhlaggu' (riding piggyback)."
