Amid the electoral furor, Bihar Deputy CM Sushil Modi accused Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad of trying to get him killed. Sushil Modi, who recently tested positive for the novel Coronavirus, levelled serious allegations claiming that Lalu Prasad is so superstitious that he not only stopped wearing white kurta at the behest of the tantric, but also made Tantrik Shankar Charan Tripathi the national spokesperson of the party.  ALSO READ | Bihar Elections, ABP-CVoter Opinion Poll | Nitish Kumar Emerges As Most Preferred CM, Tejashwi Not Far Behind


The same tantric had performed tantric pooja with Lalu Prasad in Vindhyachal Dham (Mirzapur). Three years ago, he had also attempted a tantric ritual to kill me.

Taking to his official twitter account, Sushil Modi wrote "Lalu Prasad has no faith in the public, so he continued to perform rituals like tantra-mantra, animal sacrifice and phantom cultivation. Despite this he neither escaped from jail nor could save power. Lalu Prasad, convicted in the fodder scam, is about to sacrifice three goats on the day of Navami by flaunting a jail manual in the Kelly bungalow of Ranchi before the Bihar assembly elections."



RJD Leader and Lalu’s Son Tejashwi Yadav who is being seen as the chief ministerial face of the opposition alliance, condemned the sensational remarks made by Sushil Modi saying he never expected such statements from him.

According to the reports, Tejashwi said, "He could have spoken about employment, industries, education or healthcare. He could have explained the achievements of his party in the last 15 years. But such statements at this time are simply bizarre."
