"It seems that Nitish Kumar is losing faith on the people. 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'," Singh told ANI.

Giriraj Singh has released a video in which Nitish Kumar is seen with a tantric. 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 seeing chanting slogans 'Lalu Murdabad'.
