Evidently rattled by the possibility that the failed attempt last week to dismiss the Bihar government could unite the opposition against its government at the Centre, the BJP tried yesterday to project the opposition's talk of a national alternative as an attempt to try to bring about "an extention of Bihar jungle raj to the entire country."

Party General Secretary K Venkaiah Naidu, refused to make any comment on the President's position that the situation in Bihar did not warrant the dismissal of the government but maintained that the cabinet's initial decision had been absolutely correct.

The BJP was of the firm view that the state government was not run according to the Constitution and it stood by this view, he said.

tated, adding that the government did not have any moral or constitutional right to continue.

He would not explain, though, why the Union cabinet had not reiterated its advice to the President if the party was so sure that the recommendation had been right. Asked how the party could go forwards and backwards at the same time, he said "sometimes, you have to do it." Asked if the government's survival had been at stake, he said "it has been at stake from day one" but held that there was "no problem at all" with the BJP's coalition partners.

Naidu focussed instead on the "amazing gang up" of the Congress, Left and "casteist forces."
