LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav , who has so far been denying a Modi factor in UP, admitted on Tuesday that the BJP might win 30 to 40 seats more in the 2014 Lok Sabha election than it did in 2009.He, however, added that the BJP would not be able to form a government at the Centre on its own. He predicted that the Congress would lose and that a third front would take office after elections.He also attacked Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad for going to Muzaffarnagar riot relief camps and called him a sycophant who was "licking the feet" of Congress leaders.Addressing party workers on the death anniversary of SP leader Raj Narain, he said that the BJP would make some gains in the Lok Sabha polls next year because of its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, but it would not be able to form a government as no party would back it.Mulayam also said that opposition parties are playing politics over Muzaffarnagar riots . Without taking Lalu's name, he said "Some persons (Lalu) reached there immediately after being released from jail. In the past, he had said he would not allow Mulayam to become prime minister. He has said the same thing now. What's new in it?"The SP chief alleged: " Woh (Lalu) Congress ke talve chaat rahe hain. Uski chaploosi kar rahe hain" (He is licking the feet of Congress. He is behaving like a sycophant)." Mulayam also accused Lalu of siding with different parties to grab power.Mulayam said that the SP government had tried its best to compensate whatever damage was incurred during the riots. "After independence, so many riots took place. No government has ever helped riot victims the way the SP government has helped the Muzaffarnagar riot victims. We have distributed Rs 90 crore," he said.He asked party workers to go to the people and explain everything.
