Lucknow:
The coming together of erstwhile 'Janata Parivar' is a "permanent alliance", Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav said today, noting that such a united front to fight the BJP was being missed for long.
"It is a permanent alliance. We have been missing it for long. Now its has been cemented," Mr Yadav told reporter in Lucknow.
The RJD President was in Lucknow for a pre-engagement ceremony of his daughter Raj Lakshmi with Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Mulayam Singh's grandson and Lok Sabha member Tej Pratap.
Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are neighbouring states and it is a relationship of hearts, Mr Yadav said on forging political unity as well as establishing family ties with Mulayam.
Asked about the new political formation, the RJD Chief said 'Netaji' (Mulayam) has been authorised to take the further decision.
"Netaji has been authorised to take further decision. There is no ego problem now," he said.
The two Yadavs are in the forefront of consolidation of opposition forces, bringing six constituents of the erstwhile 'Janata Parivar' under the banner of one party.
These parties include SP, Janata Dal (Secular), RJD, Janata Dal (United), Indian National Lok Dal and Samajwadi Janata Party.
On being asked about the date of marriage he said it would be fixed by the pundits.
"It (the marriage) is fixed. Now pundits will tell the date, but it will be soon," he said.
Mr was received by senior cabinet minister and Mulayam's brother Shivpal Singh at the airport.
Mr Yadav was accompanied by son Tejaswi Yadav and some close relatives among others.
