 "'No obstacle in Janta Parivar merger', says Lalu")
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Thursday asserted that the work towards the merger of the Janta Parivar is in progress, adding there was no obstacle in its path of unison.
"For the unity of Janta Dal Parivar, there is no obstacle anywhere. We want to be united and we are united. This will happen," Lalu told ANI here.
"We have started working towards the merger and for this, [Samajwadi Party chief] Mulayam Singh Yadav has been given the authority," he added.
