Party spokesperson Kiran Ghei said the meeting was convened to decide the future course of action in the changed political scenario in the state after the rejection of Presedent's Rule and the unrest among south Bihar MPs.The seminar was attended by party MPs, MLAs, presidents of frontal organisations, district chiefs and national vice-chief Kailashpati Mishra, in-charge of Bihar affairs, K Govindacharya and was chaired by state president Nand Kishore Yadav. The party leaders stressed on launching mass awakening movement to ward off the confusion, created by RJD president Laloo Prasad Yadav, on the issue of Vananchal state, comprising 18 districts of South Bihar.

They unanimously decided to launch a people's movement toface the challenges emanating from the changed situation and to achieve the goal of a separate state.

The BJP charged the Rashtriya Janata Dal with committing fraud on the people of south Bihar by altering its earlier resolve for a separate state of Jharkhand.
