Kushwaha arrived in Delhi on Sunday from Patna. Before leaving he was questioned over the same issue of leaving NDA at the Patna airport by reporters and he told them to wait and watch.
However, RLSP President has earlier said that he will attend the NDA meeting happening on December 10 in Delhi. He is believed to receive the formal invitation from a cabinet minister.
On the other hand, Janata Dal-United is also given a miss to this NDA meeting, party leaders are in Patna and as per reports JDU has distanced itself from this crucial meeting happening in Delhi.

Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Yadav, Tejasvi Yadav, and Jitan Ram Manjhi will attend the press conference and some major announcement over the next course of action alliance parties are expected from this meeting.
