The JD(U)-RLD merger talks moved a step ahead today with the RLD supremo Ajit Singh's son Jayant Chaudhary holding a closed-door meeting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his aides here.
"We held fruitful talks on the merger of the RLD and the JD(U) during Chaudhary's meeting with our Chief Minister at his official residence here....The process of merger between the two parties is moving on right track," he told PTI on phone.
Tyagi, who is the JD(U) national general secretary and a Rajya Sabha member from Bihar, refused to divulge details of the meeting, merely saying that the talks were encouraging and moving in the right direction.
He said that besides the Chief Minister, his aide Prashant Kishor, JD(U) Rajya Sabha MP R C P Singh and the state unit party president Bashistha Narayan Singh were present at the meeting.
Chaudhary also extended greetings to the Chief Minister for the Holi festival, the JD(U) national general secretary said.
The latest meeting to chalk out the merger between the two parties was a follow-up to an earlier meeting between Nitish Kumar and other top JD(U) leaders with Ajit Singh and his son Jayant Chaudhary at Tyagi's residence in New Delhi on March 15.
