<b>Blames party for Babri Masjid</b>
Zonked by and jittery over the discouraging first-phase poll trends, RJD boss <b>Lalu Prasad Yadav is now making an all-out effort to woo Muslim voters. </b>

<b>Late on Friday night, he blamed his recent ally, the Congress, for the demolition of the Babri mosque</b>. The RJD’s alliance partner and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan supported Lalu’s statement.

<b>“Babri Masjid was razed. The Congress Party too was responsible for this as it was in power and did nothing to prevent the demolition,” </b>Lalu told a cheering crowd at Manigachhi in Darbhanga.

Lalu was addressing the public meeting in favour of his party candidate Dr M A A Fatmi from Darbhanga where a sizeable number of Muslim votes decide the poll course.

Fatmi is pitted against BJP candidate Kirti Azad.

Lalu reiterated his statement on Saturday morning at Patna airport. He added that if the<b> Congress compelled him, he would continue to reveal more secrets. <i>“Jyada bak bak na karein nahi to sara bhed khol denge</i>,”</b> he threatened.

Soon the wily politician in Lalu surfaced and he targeted the BJP.[<i>B] “Yeh jo BJP ke alamgar bane hue hain (Advaniji) yeh kabhi Prime Minister nahin ban sakte. In logon ne Babri Masjid giraane ka kaam kiya,”[/B], </i>he said.

With trends not getting encouraging, Lalu put up a brave face. “Media confuse ho gayi hai, especially electronic media. They are watching my body language and writing me off. Let the results come.<b> Pura NDA ka safaya ho jayegai</b>,” he said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
