Siwan (Bihar): BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) president L K Advani today (Nov 6, 2004) said ''collective anger'' of the people of Bihar against the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) Government, particularly on the law and order front, would bring down the ''non-performing'' regime.

''Indira Gandhi once appeared invincible but after she clamped emergency in 1977, there was a collective anger of the people against her. They (the people) performed a miracle and toppled her. I hope the people of Bihar would repeat that miracle,'' he said addressing a party rally in one of the strongest of RJD citadels represented by party strongman Mohammed Shahabuddin in the Lok Sabha.

Advani, on his first visit to Bihar after resuming the reins of the party rattled by electoral reverses, said, "My partymen told me about the reign of terror in Siwan and promised to arrange a rally somewhere else in the State but I decided on holding the rally here as I want the miracle to take place soon."

Stating that according to figures made available to him by party vice-president and MP Sushil Kumar Modi, who was earlier the leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly, around two lakh people had been killed and 50 lakh labourers and entrepreneurs had left Bihar during the nearly 15-year'' Laloo-Rabri misrule characterised by anarchy and lawlessness.''
