Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi
PATNA: Hinting that his days as the Chief Minister of Bihar are numbered, Jitan Ram Manjhi defied his own party leaders saying that he would continue to speak as before and no one can stop him. “I will not succumb to anybody’s pressure and will speak like I used to speak earlier. Whatever I say are my own views”.
On Saturday his supporters had stood out in favour of him and had slammed the party leaders. Only couple of days ago JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav had warned him for making controversial comments.
“I try to communicate in the language they understand,” Mr Manjhi said while addressing Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe doctor’s function in Patna on Sunday. State transport minister Ramai Ram has been heard saying that he can serve as the better Chief Minister. Mr Ram a senior Dalit leader had served in the previous government too and is now eyeing the position.
But final decision will be taken by party strongman Nitish Kumar as he wanted Jitan Ram Manji to take up the post of Chief Minister when he demitted his office.
