The results of the Lok Sabha elections are out, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) set to form government for a third consecutive time. The opposition INDIA bloc gave a stellar performance, defying the predictions made by the exit polls. Government formation will take place in a few days from now. The INDIA bloc is trying to talk to NDA's coalition partners, in the hope that some of them may change sides and the numbers may finally favour them, paving the way for their government.
On Wednesday (June 5), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar - alliesturned rivals - arrived in New Delhi on the same flight to attend the government formation meetings of their respective alliances.
Photos circulated on social media showedYadav first sitting behindBihar Chief Minister Kumar on the flight, and then sitting beside him, sparking a buzz. Nitish Kumar has changed his political alliances multiple times and rejoined hands with the NDA (after breaking ties with the INDIA bloc)months before the Lok Sabha elections.

On being asked if there were any political talks, the RJD leader said, "Leave this for now. These things are talked about at the appropriate time. "
In a separate press conference, Yadav was also asked about the viral photos and he said, "We greeted each other. Keep watching what happens."
