The role of the Congress in an anti-BJP front remained the talking point on Sunday, with Bihar leaders Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad trying to broker peace between the party and the rest of the Opposition.
The occasion was a rally of the Opposition at Fatehabad in Haryana, where the Congress was not invited, and a visit by the two leaders to party president Sonia Gandhi’s home in Delhi, 200 km away.
Mr. Kumar, who is the Bihar Chief Minister, and Prasad, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader, batted for the Congress’s presence in an anti-BJP front.
