Modi attacks Rahul on tainted Lalu

• Gandhi's watchmen would be Ashok Chavan, whose name had figured in the Adarsh scam and Lalu. "And, what are the people with whom you have allied?
• Congress is a party of mother and son, the SP is a father, son and daughter-in-law party, the RJD is a husband and wife party, the JMM is a father and son party

Nawada/Koderma: Targeting Rahul Gandhi, BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi asked if the Congress vice president planned to guard the country's resources by allying with scam-tainted leaders, and attacked Lalu Prasad for siding with a party promoting animal slaughter.

Referring to Gandhi, he said the 'shehzada' had said that the country needed its 1.25 crore people to act as watchmen guarding its resources, but was himself relying on tainted leaders.

"And, what are the people with whom you have allied? Can they be trusted? The people with whom the Congress has allied, have just come out of jail," he said apparently referring to Prasad who was convicted in a fodder scam case and was on bail.

Modi said that Gandhi's watchmen would be Ashok Chavan, whose name had figured in the Adarsh scam and Prasad.

Modi kept Chief Minister Nitish Kumar mostly out of his line of fire and instead focused on targeting Congress, which is in alliance with Lalu's RJD and is seen as the main challenger to the BJP-led NDA in the state.

Modi criticised Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, JMM chief Shibu Soren and RJD

president Lalu Prasad for practising "dynastic politics" and said it has no place in a democracy.

"The Congress is a party of mother and son, the SP is a father, son and daughter-in-law party, the RJD is a husband and wife party, the JMM is a father and son party," Modi told an election meeting here in Palamu district.
