Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday cleared uncertainties over the final merger of the constituents of the Janata Parivar and said it was on right track. Earlier on Friday, Mr. Kumar held meetings with Janata Parivar leaders in Delhi.
“The merger process is on the right track and I think it will not take much time,” he said at a conclave on skill development in Patna.
He added that the date of the next meeting on merger would be decided soon and thereafter everything would be clear.

Earlier on Friday, the State JD(U) chief Basistha Narayan Singh had said in Muzaffarpur that if merger of Janata Parivar was delayed, the alliance parties — the JD(U), the RJD and the Congress — would contest the upcoming Assembly elections under a political understanding. “But, after the poll there will be one party, one flag,” he said.
During the meeting on Friday, Mr. Kumar is believed to have apprised the Janata Parivar leaders about the necessity of a merger ahead of the polls.
