New Delhi, Oct 23: The Rashtriya Loktantrik Morcha (RLM) today kicked off its election campaign in the capital with a blistering attack on BJP for its `all round failure' and said the Third Front alone can provide a viable alternative.Addressing an election rally at Ramlila grounds here, RLM leaders came down heavily on the BJP for trying to divide the country on communal lines and appealed to the people to vote for the third force ``which alone can prove to be a viable alternative to fight the onslaughts of the BJP''.
Senior Morcha leader and Rashtriya Janata Dal president Laloo Prasad Yadav cautioned the people against the `evil designs' of BJP to create a Hindu-Muslim divide and predicted that days of BJP Government both at the Centre and in Delhi were numbered.
``BJP will be obliterated from the four states where assembly elections will be held in November,'' Yadav said, appealing to the electorate to dislodge the BJP Government by voting for morcha candidates.
The former Bihar chief ministertook the opportunity to criticise Janata Dal saying one of its leaders Ram Vilas Paswan was ``sitting in the lap of BJP and Samata Party'' while former prime minister H D Deve Gowda was instrumental in dividing the JD in Karnataka.
Morcha leaders particularly Mulayam Singh Yadav (Samajwadi Party) and Shankersinh Vaghela (Rashtriya Janata Party) attacked the Centre for the spiralling prices of essential commodities and the states ruled by BJP for the rising crime graph and acute power and water crisis.
