Aaditya Thackeray was on a one-day visit to Bihar. They later met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at his residence.
It is to be noted that recently, Aditya Thackeray had also taken part in Congress leader Rahul Gandhi`s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Maharashtra. Earlier, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, since he joined the “Mahagathbandhan”, stripping the saffron party of power in the state, took an initiative to unite opposition parties against the BJP.
During his visit to Delhi in September, Kumar met Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party leaders late Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav, Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
This happened after Kumar broke his alliance with the BJP and joined hands with Tejashwi Yadav`s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the Congress, and other parties to form the `Mahagathbandhan` government in Bihar.
