Realignment of old Janata parivar in offing in Bihar?

Speculations are rife about realignment of old Janata parivar members to form the next government in Bihar after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's resignation in the wake of severe drubbing his party suffered at the hands of BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
The speculations are doing the rounds here after rumours of talks between Sharad Yadav and Lalu Prasad and Kumar and Prasad here.
Prasad has denied holding talks with either of the JD(U) leaders. "These are baseless and concocted news. I did not talk to anybody," he said.
RJD is keeping a close watch over developments in Bihar, Prasad told reporters, adding he has called a meeting of his party legislators tomorrow to discuss the political situation.

Asked about possibility of supporting Nitish Kumar if he is re-elected by JD(U) in its legislature party meeting today, Prasad said "Its an internal matter of JD(U) and we have nothing to do with it."
Reminded of his May 16 comment that secular forces should come together, he said it was in the larger context of the national level.

Congress is in touch with JD(U) for 'continuation of a secular government in Bihar in order to keep communal forces led by BJP out of power'.
"Congress is keeping an eye over the development in Bihar and its high command will take a decision at the appropriate time," state Congress media-in charge Prem Chand Mishra told PTI.

JD(U) President Sharad Yadav, who arrived here ahead of the crucial JD(U)LP meeting, earlier in the day held talks in Delhi with Congress leadership which is understood to have assured him support in the new government formation in Bihar.
The JD(U)LP meeting, scheduled at 4 pm at the chief minister's official residence, will elect its new leader following Kumar's resignation, he told reporters at Patna airport.
"Our entire party including Kumar will participate in the meeting. The legislators will decide who will be the new leader," Yadav said.
He did not rule out the possibility when asked whether Kumar could be re-elected the JD(U)LP leader. "I myself had resigned earlier. Nitish Kumar had also resigned when he was the union railways minister. Whatever the party decides, it will be supreme," added Yadav.
