When asked if the non-BJP 'secular alliance' meant that the hatchet with Lalu would be buried, he said, "the question is about the country. So if there are old differences, they do not pose a problem.
"All of them (differences) will be over and the battle will begin from there. Bihar is the place from where most agitations and new paths emerge. There are all kind of secular people and all will participate in that," he said.
Yadav, however, declined to dwell in details over any such alliance, saying timing is of great importance in politics.
Emphasising that all secular forces, including Lalu-led RJD, will come together in the state, Sharad Yadav said he was making this statement despite losing in the election to a candidate put up by RJD. Yadav lost in Madhepura to Pappu Yadav.
He reacted strongly to suggestion that Kumar's resignation was a political drama. "If you don't know him, it is not our fault. He has not resigned for drama."
Kumar had expressed his wish to resign on Friday night but he asked him to wait for his arrival so that a united decision could be taken by the party, he said.
Asked if the remarkable performance of BJP in Lok Sabha elections meant that JDU's decision to split from the party might have been a mistake, he shot back, saying his party might have shrunk in size but remains steadfast to its principles.
