"I don't know about it. But whatever might be the matter, the discussion should be at the right forum and at the right level of the parties. It should not be discussed publicly through the media," Ram told reporters here.
He was replying to a query on JMM supremo Shibu Soren's recent reported claim that the BJP and the JMM had an alleged deal of each ruling 28 months before Chief Minister Arjun Munda took over the reins on September 11, 2010, having ended the second stint of president's rule.
Ram advised the allies not to fall into the trap of opposition Congress, "which has been trying to come to power from the backdoor."
"It is not good for the state," he said.
