The meeting took place on Wednesday morning. Singh said, “We mainly had discussion on old issues like the bringing all the non-BJP parties together.” On the question about not so good relation between former Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav and his party Congress and whether it will create an obstacle in opposition’s unity, he said all the issues will be sorted out.When asked if he raised the demand for cabinet expansion as his party has been claiming for two more berths in Bihar cabinet since long, Singh replied, “CM has said there is no problem on this issue. Everything will be sorted out after the Karnataka assembly results. We will meet again.”This meeting with CM came two days after Singh met Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) national president Lalu Prasad at the 10, Circular Road Bungalow allotted to former CM Rabri Devi on Monday evening.
