Meira Kumar will visit her native village Chandwa in Bhojpur district on Friday where she will meet Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) legislators.
"Meira Kumar will also meet RJD chief Lalu Prasad, who described her as 'Bihar ki beti' after she was made the opposition' candidate," Congress legislator Shakil Ahmad Khan said.
According to RJD sources, Lalu Prasad will be present during her meeting with his party legislators.
However, Bihar's ruling Grand Allliance of Janata Dal-United (JD-U), RJD and THE Congress is divided over their support for the former Lok Sabha Speaker.
