Earlier in the day, when RJD spokesman Shibanand Tiwari was asked if the party had obtained support of the required number of MLAs to form the government, Tiwari said: ''We have decided to stake claim to avoid imposition of President's Rule in the state.''
The RJD, with 75 MLAs, has emerged as the single largest party in Bihar.

The Nationalist Congress Party and the Communist Party of India, with three MLAs each, have decided to vote for a secular government in the state.
