PATNA, June 28 -- In what is seen as a sign of rapprochement, former Union minister and former Janata Dal (United) national president Ramchandra Prasad Singh met former Bihar CM Nitish Kumar along with his supporters on Saturday. The meeting lasted 10 minutes. The meeting has fuelled speculations that Singh, once a close aide of Kumar, might return to his parent party, which he quit four years ago. Singh tweeted after the meeting: "Today I met our leader, respected Nitish Kumar, former CM of Bihar, national president of the JD(U) and Rajya Sabha MP. I spoke with him. The meeting was very cordial." Later talking to mediapersons, Singh said, "I met Nitish Kumar after four years, and it felt very good. Kumar has been, is, and will continue to be my leader. I met him today after years, and he appeared completely healthy." Singh said their "relation is intact" and that "when a meeting takes place, a new innings begins." He said that his association with Kumar had been "25 years long" and claimed that Kumar's "body language suggested that he was happy to see me." Singh became JD (U) national president in 2020. His acceptance of a Union cabinet berth in 2021 caused him to run afoul of Nitish Kumar, who opposed the JD(U) getting a "token representation" in the council of ministers. Kumar denied Singh a third consecutive term in the Rajya Sabha in 2022 and Singh resigned from his ministerial berth afterward....
