Patna, May 18 (PTI) Amidst doubts over the fate of Janata Parivar merger following comment by a senior Samajwadi party leader, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today categorically said that the chapter is not closed.
“The chapter is still not closed,” he said.
Kumar, who was speaking to reporters, was seeking to cap the doubts and raging debate over the fate of Janata Parivar merger in the wake of the statement by Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav that merger was not possible before the Bihar assembly polls due to technical issues.
Kumar said he would suggest Mulayam Singh Yadav to convene a meeting of the merger committee soon to “clear the air and end the public debate over the matter.”
Kumar, who is playing a significant role in the merger, said as per his knowledge there is no technical hitch.
“But, if some technical issues have been raised as bottleneck they should be sorted out in a meeting of six members of the committee constituted in the last meeting to look into formalities like a common symbol and flag etc,” he said.
