After meeting with party legislators, Ministers and workers, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on July 2 started meeting party MPs one-on-one at his official residence in Patna. Mr. Kumar met four party MPs — three from Lok Sabha and one from Rajya Sabha — individually for about 15 minutes.
Mr. Kumar has been meeting party colleagues for the past three days asking them about development work in their constituencies. On Sunday, Mr. Kumar met Lok Sabha MPs Chandeshwar Prasad Chandravanshi (Jehanababd), Dulal Chandra Goswami (Katihar) and Sunil Kumar Kushwaha (Valmikinagar) as well as Rajya Sabha MP Anil Hegde. Janata Dal (United) has 16 MPs in Lok Sabha and five in Rajya Sabha.
JD(U) sources told The Hindu that the CM enquired about incomplete development work and also asked them to be prepared for the upcoming general election. “We were told that this time we have to defeat the BJP. We were also asked to cooperate with our allies,” a JD(U) MP said preferring anonymity.
