The Union Minister, who has accused Kumar of referring to him as "neech" (lowly) - a charge rejected by Kumar-led JD(U), took a dig at Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi over his defence of the chief minister over the issue.
Kushwaha, also a Union minister, met Yadav at the latter's residence and both the leaders were believed to discussed the current political situation, especially in Bihar, RLSP sources said.
Kushwaha said he would also request Shah to clear the "confusion" over seat-sharing among the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) constituents in the state at the earliest.
During the 2014 general elections, the JDU wasn't a part of the BJP-led NDA. The BJP had won 22 seats, while the other two allies LJP and RLSP six and two seats respectively.
The BJP, the LJP and the RLSP had contested 30, seven and three seats of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar in 2014 and won 22, six and three of them respectively.
"I won't be surprised if NOTA gets majority mark in Bihar elections," tweeted the central union minister, Upendra Kushwaha.
Kushwaha has been in news for the past few days with rumours claiming that he was exploring options outside the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA.
"In NDA (National Democratic Alliance), there are some people who don't want Modiji to become the Prime Minister again. Such people intentionally spread rumours to trigger conflicts within the NDA," Kushwaha told the media here.
