RJD president Lalu Prasad Friday said the party’s “doors were always open” for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his arch-rival who recently ended a short-lived alliance and returned to the BJP-led NDA.

Lalu, who has maintained silence ever since his party suffered loss of power as a result of the JD(U) president’s volte-face, was responding to queries from journalists.

The two leaders were Thursday seen warmly shaking hands inside the Vidhan Sabha premises where Prasad had gone to boost the morale of Manoj Jha and Sanjay Yadav, both of whom filed nomination papers as RJD candidates for Rajya Sabha polls.

When Prasad was asked whether the bonhomie indicated he was still open to rapprochement with Nitish, the RJD chief replied, “Jab aaenge tab dekha jaaega (Let him come back then we shall see).”

Asked if the doors of his party were still opento Nitish, he said: “Those are always open.”
