Congress calls legislature party meet tomorrow

In the wake of resignation of Kumar yesterday, following the severe drubbing JD(U) received in the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress has voiced the need for continuation of a secular government in Bihar to keep ‘communal' BJP out of power.  

Earlier, state Congress vice-president and its media in-charge Prem Chand Mishra had said that the Congress was in touch with the JD(U) for “continuation of a secular government in Bihar in order to keep communal forces led by BJP out of power”.

“Congress is keeping an eye over the development in Bihar and its high command will take a decision at the appropriate time,” he said.
