Meetings with President K R Narayanan, who arrives in the capital later tonight -- have been lined up. Leaders of the Congress, Left parties and the Rashtriya Loktantrik Morcha have decided to meet him tomorrow and argue their case. Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, who is leaving for the United Nations tomorrow, is also scheduled to meet the President.

Also meeting the President tomorrow is Bihar Governor Sunder Singh Bhandari. ``I'll apprise him of the latest situation in the state,'' he told reporters.

Keeping in view the likely imposition of President's rule in Bihar, the Home Ministry was still in the process of working out the logistics of sending additional Central forces to the state. However, till late eveningno concrete decision had been taken in this regard.

Senior Ministry officials said they were keeping a ``close watch'' over the Bihar situation. ``We are still in the process of receiving feedback from various agencies. If need be, forces will be sent to prevent any law and order siatuation arising out of President's rule,'' said one of them.

Some Ministry officials claim that violence cannot be ruled out in case the Rabri Government is sacked. There is also a ``distinct possibility,'' they say, of violence breaking out in North and South Bihar triggered off by forces against and in favour of Vananchal.

In this connection, the Ministry is reviewing feedback received from intelligence agencies on two separate bandhs called in North and South Bihar today.

The Congress in the meanwhile flayed Bhandari for talking like an ``RSS leader'' and declared that it will send a high-level delegation to meet the President tomorrow to plead its case of not sacking the Rabri Devi government.

The delegation willconsist of the party's top five parliamentary leaders, Sharad Pawar, Shiv Shanker and Madhavrao Scindia of the Lok Sabha and Manmohan Singh and Pranab Mukherjee of the Rajya Sabha. The team will place on record the views of the Congress which are strongly against the BJP-led government and in favour of Laloo Yadav's RJD.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee flatly refused to recall the Bihar Governor; and begging to differ on charges that the latter was playing agent for the Centre's interested moves, he said, `Bhandari has not committed any constitutional impropriety by commenting on the issue. There is definitely no plans to recall him.' Vajpayee, in a press statement from Gwalior, pointed out that Bhandari's comment did not amount to a leak in the official gubernatorial report on Bihar.
