Though the executive meeting targeted the BJP Government at the Centre too, blaming it for the common man's misery, its 13-point political resolution more or less focused on Laloo's party.

The resolution stated that ``opportunist elements wearing the garb of secularism'' were behind the strengthening of communal forces and the BJP, and condemned the RJD and Samajwadi Party -- the two constituents of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Morcha (RLM) -- for speaking out against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

The RLM leaders' comments, the Congress state committee felt, were ``bogus and spitting venom against Soniaji''. The committee asserted that it was the return of the Backwards, weakersections and Dalits to the Congress -- as the recent polls show -- that had unnerved the RLM leadership.

The resolution also blamed the RJD government for the poor development of the state, lamenting that even after claiming to be the messiah of the poor, Laloo had failed to undertake programmes for their welfare.
