BJP using 'obscene ' methods to win Bihar polls: JD (U)

The Janata Dal (United) on Sunday criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the recent video released by Union Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Giriraj Singh, saying that the party is now taking the help of 'obscene and objectionable' methods to win the Bihar polls.

"Bharatiya Janata Party has no issue or agenda left in Bihar. The mahagathbandhan is in lead in the first two phases of the elections. They are now taking the help of obscene and objectionable things. The video of June, 2014 is released in order to confuse the voters. Lalu Prasad ji has himself rejected the video," JD (U) leader K C Tyagi told ANI.

Giriraj Singh had earlier released a video on his Twitter account in which Nitish is seen with a tantrik. He has accused that Nitish in June 2014, had gone to a tantrik to get rid of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav. In the video, the tantrik is seen chanting 'Lalu Murdabad'.

He added that it seemed like Nitish was losing faith in the people of the state which is why he was resorting to 'black magic'.

"The people have rejected Nitish Kumar in the first two phases of the elections and that's why Nitish ji, in distress and disappointment, went to a 'tantric' (witchdoctor) who said 'Lalu Murdabad," Giriraj said.
