JD-U President Sharad Yadav, RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, SP Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, JD-U leader Nitish Kumar and others meeting President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi.Amid political crisis in Bihar, JD-U leader Nitish Kumar on Wednesday met President Pranab Mukherjee to convey the support of 130 MLAs and urged him to advise the state Governor to take an immediate decision claiming that any delay will pollute the atmosphere in the state and encourage "horse-trading".
Kumar, who was accompanied by JD-U President Sharad Yadav, RJD leader Lalu Prasad and SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, took the 130 MLAs to the President's House to show that he enjoys majority support in the state Assembly.
Addressing reporters after meeting the President, Kumar alleged that there was "a gameplan to impose President's rule in the state".
"The President heard all the issues and at the end said that we will look into the matter," Kumar said when asked about Mukherjee's reaction.

In Patna, we paraded 130 MLAs and today also they are standing here with me and one can see where the majority is. Despite this, not paving the way for formation of government is an injustice and playing with democracy," the former Bihar Chief Minister said.
Kumar arrived here from Patna on Tuesday evening, along with the MLAs supporting him, in two commercial flights.
He had staked claim before Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi on February 9 to form a government even though incumbent Jitan Ram Manjhi, who has been sacked from the party, insisted that he too enjoyed support of a majority of MLAs.
Bihar is facing a political crisis following the JD-U's decision to elect Nitish Kumar as its legislature party leader and expel chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi from the party.
Manjhi, who has refused to step down as chief minister, has said the test of majority should be conducted on the floor of the house.
