Party spokesman V N Gadgil said yesterday the CWC would discuss all issues, including the question of support to the Deve Gowda government.

However, the party is unlikely to withdraw its support in haste as the decision to support the UF was made by the CWC and only this apex policy making body could change the earlier stand.

At the moment the CWC resolution of May 12 to support a secular government stands. It can only be changed by the CWC, he said.

Party sources said there was really no threat to the UF government and postures adopted by the party should be seen as a move to mount pressure on the Front into accepting the Congress-BSP proposal to make Mayawati Chief Minister of a non-BJP government.

 

The Congree Working Committee would also decide what stand the party would take both outside and in Parliament over the presidential proclamation reimposing central rule in Uttar Pradesh in the wake of a fractured verdict which threw up a hung Assembly.

The next session of Parliament is still one month away and anything can happen in the meantime, Gadgil said.

The Prime Ministers promise of full statehood for the hill districts of Uttar Pradesh has led to the revival of similar demands in other parts of the country. Our correspondents report on two of these.
