As RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav today met Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi in Delhi to discuss possible alliance in Bihar for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, former Chief Minister Rabri Devi today said the picture would be clear in "few days".

"Koi takrahat nahin hain, kahin koi do mat nahin hain (there is no friction neither there are two opinions about it)," she told reporters when asked about the possible alliance between Congress, RJD and LJP.

"Picture of the alliance will be clear in few days," she said after flagging off a campaign rath of the minority cell from her 10 Circular Road residence.

On chances of these parties contesting the elections separately, she said, "All of us have fought separately in the past and know the advantage and disadvantage of fighting alone and contesting together."

When asked about the seat-sharing arrangement among them, she said, "It will be done... There is no difficulty in that."

RJD secretary general Ramkripal Yadav and Rabri's son and youth leader Tej Pratap Yadav were present at the occasion.

The former Bihar CM said the campaign rath would visit villages to make people aware of the "intent" of communal forces and "highlight" Nitish Kumar government's "failure".

Blaming Kumar for encouraging communal forces to strengthen its position in the state, Rabri also assailed the state government on the law and order situation and "false" claims of development.
