Bihar Congresss new team,AICC state in-charge Mukul Wasnik and state president Choudhary Mehboob Ali Qaisar,on Friday sought to consolidate Muslim votes by choosing to attack Gujarat CM Narendra Modi,who projected himself as a pro-Muslim leader in a newspaper advertisement here on Thursday.

The timing of the BJP national executive meet seemed to provide the right political plank for the disoriented state Congress seeking damage control under Wasnik and Qaisar.

Addressing his maiden press conference after taking charge,Wasnik outlined his big Bihar plan to reach out to every block with a definite campaign against the Nitish government. Armed with facts and figures,Wasnik asked: What kind of rule of law Nitish Kumar seems to have established in Bihar? Conviction rate in Dalit atrocities is only 17 per cent against the national rate of 34 per cent. And now Kumar is getting ready to rub shoulders with Narendra Modi. This cannot inspire peoples confidence. Advertisements of Modi are blatantly promoting the man known for wrong reasons. But we cannot expect better behaviour from a party like BJP.

The police said the trio from Chandigarh — Rohan (21), Sumit (22), and Mohit (19) — were dhol players by profession and had procured the weapons due to an old rivalry with local residents.
