Laloo Prasad Yadav has always accused the media of ganging up against him. But this time round, his anger is more personal. Saba Naqvi Bhaumik spent a nerve-wracking hour with him during which he blasted her for "turning against me" and "joining up" with his enemies. "I took you around in the last election, but you still wrote against me," he complained. He got particularly abusive when asked about Congress duplicity: "They have filled bhoosa (garbage) in your brain. Who are the people you are talking to? This is the line put out by my enemies." After freely using Hindi swear words against the entire media, he calmed down, adopted a somewhat apologetic tone, insisted on offering ghugni and tea and invited her to accompany him on the campaign tour. Most expletives edited, excerpts from a conversation with the Union railway minister:
