'Cong. to review support to Rabri'

PATNA, MAY 29. Senior Congress leader and former Minister Ramashryaya Prasad Singh today said his party would reconsider its support to the Rabri Devi government in Bihar.

Mr. Singh told newsmen here that the Congress had supported the RJD to frustrate the designs of communal forces but the party had not consulted them while taking important decisions.

He said the coordination committee meeting of the two parties had not been held for a long time. Besides the Congress was unable to play its role effectively due to the ``indifferent attitude'' of the RJD in the State, he added.

The senior party leader said the common people and the Congress workers were also not in favour of the tie up with the RJD.

Mr. Singh said the reservation quota of extremely backward castes should be increased and the Karpoori formula implemented, and added that there was an urgent need to provide reservation to the poor among the forward classes.
