Elsewhere, at Panaji, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Madhavrao Scindia, in charge of Bihar, said that the decision to severe ties with the RJD would be considered soon.

``Withdrawal of support to the Rabri government may come about during the ongoing session of State Legislature,'' Singh told reporters, a day after a delegation of senior Bihar Congress leaders submitted a memorandum to Party President Sonia Gandhi, urging her to withdraw support to the RJD Ministry.

``We have already started distancing ourselves from the RJD. The recent state-wide dharna against corruption and deterioration in law and order under RJD dispensation, is quite indicative of that,'' he said.

The CLP leader, however, went on to add that any decision to be takenby the Congress President would be in a national perspective, since ``Congress alone is a pan-Indian political entity.''

Meanwhile, Scindia said in Panaji today that the decision would be taken soon. It was for the Congress Working Committee (CWC) to take a decision, Scindia said, when asked for his comments on the Bihar Congress demand.

Scindia, who looks after the party affairs in Bihar and Goa, was addressing a press conference at the Congress house.

``While taking a decision, the views of the party workers in Bihar will be kept in mind,'' Scindia, who is on a two-day visit to the State as part of the party's initiative to strengthen the party, said.

Congress registered an improvement in its performance in the by-elections to four Assembly seats held in Bihar in November, along with general elections in four states, he claimed.

The State Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro and PCC president, Shantaram Naik were among those present at the press conference.

Replying to a question, Scindia said thegeneral principle of the Congress was that electoral alliances should be entered into with a great degree of caution. The party should not go as a junior partner whenever it entered into an alliance, but as a senior partner, he opined.
