On Tuesday, as part of his tactics to keep his arch rival Lalu Prasad on toes all the time, the Bihar CM hosted a dinner party for his old BJP friends. This boosted the speculation of a reunion between the JD(U) and the BJP.  However, Tyagi was not amused. Asked in Delhi on Wednesday about his party's future plans, an irritated Tyagi blamed the BJP for floating such rumors. His take: the Patna dinner was organized at the explicit request of some BJP MLAs, and it must not be seen as the JD(U) reaching out to them. To point out his party's differences with the BJP, Tyagi emphasised that the JD(U) is planning to take on the saffron party in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections by joining forces with Patidar leader Hardik Patel, and that JD(U) leaders will participate in a socialist get-together in Mumbai on April 22.
