New Delhi: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Kumar Modi met party leader L K Advani here on Friday.
Modi's visit to New Delhi assumes significance in the wake of the reshuffle of the Bihar Council of Ministers by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
A backward caste leader, Modi has been under attack from a section of his party legislators since the Chief Minister dropped on April 10 some BJP ministers from among the upper castes.
Earlier in the week, a group of Bihar legislators including dropped minister Chander Mohan Rai met Advani, party President Rajnath Singh and other senior leaders. But Modi did not meet Rajnath Singh, party sources said.
