Bihar CM Kumar has been meeting Opposition leaders to strengthen the bloc against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Lok Sabha polls due next year.

He met his Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday in Bhubaneswar.

Kumar, who stunned the BJP last year when he snapped ties and stripped it of power, had caught the national imagination with his pitch for a ¿united opposition¿ which, he believes, can take on and defeat the BJP in next year's Lok Sabha polls.
