Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad on Sunday denied that there was any move to forge an alliance with Bihar's ruling Janata Dal-United.
"There is no question and no possibility of an alliance with JD(U)," Lalu told media persons in Patna following reports that there will be realignment of the RJD with arch rival JD(U).
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar resigned Saturday, taking moral responsibility for his party JD(U)'s rout in the Lok Sabha elections. The JD(U) got barely two seats out of Bihar's 40 in the Lok Sabha.
JD(U) general secretary KC Tyagi earlier on Sunday said: "RJD will join the government after JD(U) elects its new leader."
Lalu Prasad, however, said he will not join hands with the JD(U).
"It is baseless and a cooked story that I had talked with JD(U) president Sharad Yadav about it," Lalu said.
Lalu said that after JD(U) legislature party meeting on Sunday, the RJD will hold a meeting of its leaders and legislators to discuss the situation in the state.
