Lalu attacks Congress over Babri demolition

Manigachi (Bihar), Apr 18 (PTI) In controversial remarks,
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad has said the
Congress too was responsible for the demolition of the Babri
mosque as it did nothing to prevent it.

"Babri masjid was razed to the ground and Congress too is
responsible for it as it did nothing to prevent it," he said
addressing an election meeting at Manhgachi in Bihar's
Darbhanga district Friday.

"If anyone continue to talk nonsense, I will reveal
more," he said, without elaborating.

Lalu, who had recently been chastised by the Election
Commission for his 'crush-under-the-roller' remark against BJP
candidate Varun Gandhi, described the saffron party as 'Bharat
jalao party'.

"The BJP is Bharat jalao party. It wants to see that
India is up in flames," he said.

Accusing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of calling up
district magistrates and commissioners pressurising them to
recommend cancellation of voting at polling stations in areas
of influence of RJD, Lalu said, "I am least worried. The more
they will try to harm me, the more votes I and my allies will
get."

A wave is blowing in favour of the alliance of
RJD-LJP-SP, he claimed. PTI
