Devi met Chief Minister Raghubar Das and the BJP's national general secretary and MP Bhupender Yadav here on Sunday, strengthening the speculation that she may join the BJP.

Devi could contest the Lok Sabha elections from Koderma or Chatra seat, sources said.

The RJD leaders, however, denied that Devi would join the BJP.
