During the meeting for almost an hour on Sunday, they discussion the political situation and later Chaudhary left with Congress General Secretary in her aircraft to Delhi.
The meeting gains significance in view of reports that relations between Samajwadi Party and RLD have lately been under strain over seat sharing.
