New Delhi, May 7: Key UPA ally, the RJD, on Wednesday strongly opposed the Women's Reservation Bill in its present form and did not rule out withdrawing support from the Congress-led coalition at the Centre if its demand for quota for dalit and minorities in the legislation was not conceded.

"Our strategy includes everything," senior party leader Devendra Prasad Yadav said at a press conference when asked whether the RJD would go to the extent of withdrawing support to the UPA on the issue. He said the RJD, the second largest bloc in the UPA, would move amendments in the Bill and even press for division if the party's demand for quota within quota for Dalit, minorities and SC/ST women was not incorporated in the measure.

The RJD's rigid stand might throw a spanner in the efforts of the UPA to ensure passage of the Bill in the Monsoon Session of Parliament. "If the government ignores our demand, a political crisis bigger than Indo-US Nuclear deal may arise," Yadav, who is the Deputy Leader of the party in the Lok Sabha, said. He accused the UPA of going against the "coalition dharma" by "overlooking" the RJD's advice.

On Law Minister H R Bhardwaj's claim that there was unanimity over the measure in the Union Cabinet, he said it was not so as RJD supremo and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad had strongly opposed the Bill in its present form at the meeting.
