While in the Rajya Sabha, the SP leads the pack with 15 members, the JD-U has 12 and INLD, JD(S) and RJD one each. Their total number in the Upper House is 30.
“The merger is bound to happen and it will happen sooner than later,” JD(U) president Sharad Yadav said.
JD(U) general secretary KC Tyagi said that SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav will finalise the merger plan in a day or two after talking INLD chief Om Prakash Chautala and JD(S) chief and former Prime Minister HD Devegowda as a consensus has already been arrived among SP, JD(U) and RJD over the issue.
“An announcement is likely to be made next week starting Monday. In a day or two Mulayam Singh ji will call a meeting of all constituents of the erstwhile Janata Parivar.
