Bihar polls: Sonia seeks to woo Muslims

NDTV.com - News on Bihar polls: Sonia seeks to woo Muslims: "After the 1989 riots in Bhagalpur, the Congress lost its support among the minorities. The posters written in Urdu tell the voter that the real face of the BJP is Gujarat, where there is no justice, but the man who had the courage to stop the Rath Yatra his lantern should be strengthened.

Caught in the political crossfire are the Muslims of Bhagalpur for whom the posters are a painful reminder of the violence of past riots. And as the divisions sharpen within the Muslim voters, it could well have a decisive impact on the fortunes of Lalu and the Congress."
