A high-level delegation representing JD(U) from Uttar Pradesh have met the Bihar Chief Minister in Patna in this regard. Led by Satyendra Patel, the Convener of Uttar Pradesh JD(U) unit, the delegation included about 75 prominent party leaders and dedicated workers hailing from 10 different Lok Sabha constituencies in Uttar Pradesh.

When someone had asked him to clarify the need for carrying a firearm inside a hospital, he had said: “It is a thing that needs to be held in the hand and not in the waist (Hath Me Lekar Nahi Chalege to Kya Kamar Me Rakhege).” Mandal reached the JD-U office in Patna on Friday to take part in a meeting headed by CM Nitish Kumar that was also attended by the party's national President Lalan Singh.

The two leaders had gone to the Chief Minister’s residence to participate in a meeting of the Assembly incharge on Monday.

Referring to the K.K. Pathak-Professor Chandrashekher row, Singh said that the officers are indulging in arbitrariness in Bihar and nothing is under the control of the chief minister. “Today, Ashok Chaudhary is saying that officers and ministers are two wheels.

"Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party JD-U is in a state of rebellion and many MLAs and MPs are in touch with the BJP," Sushil Modi said. He claimed that a "stampede" is waiting to take place anytime in the JD-U.

Earlier in the day, speaking to IANS, Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi said, "Session of Bihar assembly will take place from July 10, in such scenario the meeting might be postponed to a fresh date."

“The action of Lalu Prasad Yadav was not threatening to divide the country or create communal frenzy in the country. His action was to stop communal violence. He had saved the country with his action. We have not taken revenge for anything,” RJD's Bihar President Jagadanand Singh said.
