Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD President Lalu Prasad will not share the dais triggering speculation of a logjam in the coming together of JD (U) and RJD. This is happening while both of them are talking about the merger and unity of all the Janatha Pariwar parties to come together to fight against BJP in the forthcoming Bihar elections.

"I will not be able to make it to the program due to laser surgery of my eye. I had informed organisers about it beforehand," Nitish Kumar told.

"Nitish jee will not be able to make it to the program because of his recent eye operation and political meaning should not be read into it," Bihar Animal Husbandry department minister Baidyanath Sahni told. He added that JD (U) President Sharad Yadav, state party chief Basistha Narayan Singh and other ministers and leaders of the two parties would be present on the occasion along with RJD chief Lalu Prasad.

This will be the second occasion in which Kumar would not be present with "Bade bhai" (elder brother) Lalu Prasad at a public platform.

The Janatha Pariwar has created enough of noise when they decided to merge as one party and fight the Bihar election unitedly. But as usual the egos of the leaders has prevented to make the merger a reality.
