 "God protected me: Modi")
Referring to last year's blasts targeting his rally in Patna, Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Prime Ministerial hopeful Narendra Modi said that "God" protected him.
"I am lucky to have survived the Patna serial blasts to be within your midst ... Had the God been not with me, I would not be here," he said.
Recalling scenes of blood splattered around the Gandhi Maidan after serial blasts at his October 27 rally in Patna, Modi hailed the valour of the huge number of people who attended it despite the blasts taking place one after another.
Congress, he alleged, helped Lalu walk out of jail and indulged in all sorts of backroom deals with him but refrained from acknowledging the relation in public as they feared it would dent their votes outside.
"Is it not a fact that mother and son helped Lalu to get out of jail (on bail after being convicted for five years in the fodder scam)?" the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate asked at an election meeting here.
