After a half an hour meeting both the leaders said that they have come on the direction of the BJP high command. They said that the party’s high command is very serious about Sinha’s agitation.

Both the leaders said that after detail discussions with Sinha, they are going to Ranchi where the state level BJP core committee will discuss the issue of agitation. They said in that future strategies of the agitation will be finalized in the meeting.
