Siddiqui also lashed out at Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, who had reportedly levelled the allegations yesterday, challenging him to "come up with proof or resign".
"Sushil Modi seems to be stricken by Lalu phobia. It appears he has based his entire politics around maligning the RJD supremo and his family.
"Moreover, he also seems to be drawing inspiration from Goebbels (Nazi propagandist). He keeps making false statements but never shows the consistency to stick to these", Siddiqui told reporters at the party's state headquarters here.
Siddiqui was reacting to media reports quoting the Deputy CM as having stated, in Darbhanga district, that Lalu Prasad was the "Robert Vadra of Bihar", in an obvious dig aimed at the charges of acquiring huge benami properties currently being faced by the RJD supremo as well as Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law.

However, when pressed further, Siddiqui said "we have to watch how things unfold in future. If the need so arises, one may consider the option of a defamation suit".
