Mumbai, September 20, 2013: Asaram Bapu is targeted because elections are round the corner, his son, Narayan Sai, said here on Thursday. “The allegations of black magic were made a year before the 2009 elections and now the allegations against him have been made because of 2014 elections. But people know that he has been framed.” Mr. Sai was speaking at a demonstration programme organised against the arrest of Asaram Bapu. Mr. Sai also claimed that Asaram had foreseen his arrest.
