After leaving JD(U), the senior Samajwadi leader is seeking a new associate. He remained the point man of Nitish Kumar for a very long time and never hesitated to give his opinion on any political matter, the source says. The continuity in active politics in the centre has given him very good friends in politics and in the media, the source says. He first tried to approach Samajwadi Party supremo, Akhilesh Yadav. The meeting lasted long, and it's said that Akhilesh Yadav wanted him to strengthen the SP in the western belt because, as Tyagi, he has good relations with the community and the Jat community, according to a source. Later, it's learned that he also met Jayant Chaudhary, another leader from the western UP belt, but not having the strength in the assembly to send him to the upper house, whereas the SP has the strength to send, if Akhilesh Yadav wants, the source says. The reason for meeting other leaders is not understood by anyone, but based on his experience in politics, observers feel that something more is brewing behind the curtain, sources say.
