Patna, August 08: Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari today accused the successive Congress, RJD and NDA governments in Bihar of “cheating the Muslims” and said he will launch a third front tomorrow to effectively take on the RJD-LJP combine and the ruling regime led by Nitish Kumar.

“The successive governments of Congress, RJD and now NDA have badly hoodwinked and cheated the muslims…they have used the community to the hilt for the sake of politics of votes,” Bukhari, who arrived here this afternoon, told a group of reporters at Jayaprakash Narayan International airport here.

“I am here to explore forging of alliance with parties and organisations and groups with secular backgrounds… I will hold marathon discussions with them to rope in,” he said.
