Kushwaha on Wednesday said that he would go to Delhi. “There needs to be some rethinking on the decisions being made in the NDA. I am going to Delhi to hold talks on the same. I’m hopeful that everything will be fine.”

Nityanand Rai, a BJP leader, said, “Just like Upendraji has said, everything is fine and everything will be fine soon.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Kushwaha had posted on X: “The issue of seat allocation among NDA parties has been resolved through amicable discussions. The discussion on which party will contest which seat is also in its final stage with positive talks.”
