On being questioned about RJD's alliance with the Congress, the 73-year-old said, "Congress' interim President Sonia Gandhi is our well-wisher. She had called and enquired about my well being. Those who do not even stand a chance to meet Sonia are questioning our conversation. Has anyone helped the Congress party more than us? We want a strong alternative to the BJP and therefore I have always supported Congress in every situation. Congress is the oldest party at the national level."
"I have asked Sonia Gandhi to call a meeting of all opposition parties because we have to be united for the Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024. Sonia said that a meeting of all opposition parties might be held in November, which includes our party as well," Lalu added.
