RJD chief Lalu Prasad ended his Assembly election campaign quite similar to the way he concluded the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

Instead of going back to his 10 Circular Road residence, as soon as his chopper touched down at Patna airport on Tuesday evening, Lalu drove straight to the party office on Beer Chand Patel Marg, where reporters were called for a media interaction.

Lalu waited for the journalists for about 15 minutes and then posed for the cameras with a victory sign. He had done something similar in 2014 too.

Though the RJD fared poorly in 2014, Lalu's way of dealing with elections and the media hasn't changed even today.

With the photo session over, the former chief minister was back to what he does best.

With the gift of the gab on display for those who had somehow reached the RJD office overcoming the bumper-to-bumper evening traffic on Patna roads, Lalu said: "We have already won Bihar."

He added that Narendra Modi had come to win the state but people have reposed faith in the Grand Alliance in the four phases and the same would happen in the fifth phase too.

The former chief minister, who now stands barred from contesting polls because of being convicted in a corruption case in which he is out on bail, has addressed 243 rallies since September 27.

Sources said he defied the advice of medical experts who wanted him to go slow because of the heart surgery conducted on him in August 2014. Compared to Lalu, Nitish Kumar had attended 218 rallies since September 26.

"Lalu is a man with immense energy and one needed to be here in Bihar to see it," one of Lalu's aides said.

What the aide claimed was also visible on Lalu's face, who was anything but tense, though his party had high stakes in this election. The RJD is trying to be on the winning side after being out of power in Bihar for 10 years.

"We have stopped the chariot of Narendra Modi in Bihar and now I, in turn, would march towards Delhi," Lalu said.

He went on to claim that his sources had informed him that Modi would now run away from Delhi and would resign from his post the day the Bihar results are announced. He added that Modi would go back to Gujarat and BJP president Amit Shah would not even know where to hide his face after the party's defeat in Bihar.

Lalu, who used several adjectives for the PM during the campaigning, launched an attack again claiming that Modi had brought down the dignity of the PM's post and he didn't even know about the Constitution of the country.

Lalu, however, chose to ignore questions when asked whether he would have JDU's Nitish Kumar and SP's Mulayam Singh Yadav in tow during his march to Delhi, which he claimed to start after the Bihar elections.

"Are you a journalist?" he asked the person who had enquired. He then suddenly walked out of the party office and asked his driver to take him to his residence. Lalu turned on a Bhojpuri song before his car started rolling out of the RJD office.
