New Delhi, August 12
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and other Opposition leaders here and is learnt to have discussed the developments in the state as well as political situation prevailing in the country.
Yadav’s visit to Delhi, the first to the national capital after taking the oath of office, also holds significance as Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad is here and the finalisation of names of ministers is set to be high on the agenda during discussions between the two.
The cabinet, which at present comprises only Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Yadav as his deputy, is due for expansion early next week.
The Bihar deputy chief minister met Gandhi at her 10 Janpath residence.
Earlier, he met CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI General Secretary D Raja here and is learnt to have discussed the developments in Bihar as well as the way forward.
After the meeting, Tejashwi said in a tweet that he met the two Left leaders and had a positive discussion on the current social, economic and political scenario prevailing in the country and Bihar.
“Bihar, the land which gave birth to democracy, has again shown the way to the country,” Yadav said in a tweet in Hindi.
