The once-firebrand young Turks of the socialist movement, who fell apart more than two decades ago, are set to re-unite as a family of ageing warriors. The process will begin with a huddle in Delhi on Thursday, and if all goes well, Nitish Kumar's JD(U), Lalu Prasad's RJD, HD Deve Gowda's JD(S), and Om Prakash Chautala's INLD will merge as a new party under the leadership of former wrestler and SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav. |
