"I have put up certain conditions for joining Congress," Yadav said after meeting Shinde but declined to reveal the details.

Yadav, an MP from Gopalganj seat in Bihar, was accompanied by former Union minister Jay Narayan Prasad Nishad as well as a senior RJD leader Ramai Ram when he met Shinde.

The trio huddled into an hour-long discussion with Shinde, who said he will convey their desires to join Congress to the party high command.

The development follows Prasad's announcement of seat-sharing with Ram Vilas Paswan-led LJP in Bihar.

Yadav, whose Gopalganj seat had been converted into a reserved seat post the delimitation, hold a parallel press conference while Prasad was making the announcement.

Disapproving the RJD-LJP agreement, Yadav said he himself would contest from the two seats alloted to LJP.

Earlier, convicted RJD MP from Madhepura Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav also met Shinde, a day after he had gone to the AICC office in New Delhi to meet the party's Bihar in-charge Iqbal Singh.
