Recently in Parliament, senior BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain was seen having a long discussion with two leaders from estranged political party Janata Dal (United). The bonhomie among the trio raised many eyebrows given that other members of the political-partners-turned-rivals are tearing strips off each other in Bihar. When someone asked what they discussed, Hussain said though the two parties have divorced but that does not mean partners cannot exchange greetings. On this, the JD (U) leader added that it is always difficult to get married after a divorce and both sides need to make many compromises for that.
