Union Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha supremo Jitan Ram Manjhi has said that NDA ally and Janata Dal-United Chief Nitish Kumar made him the Chief Minister of Bihar in 2014 which was a "huge honour" for him.
Union Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Jitan Ram Manjhi has had an extensive political career, including serving as the 23rd chief minister of Bihar from 20 May 2014 to 22 February 2015.
Former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi on Tuesday claimed that a big scam similar to the IRCTC land-for-job scam has taken place here in the state.
The Bihar chief minister said, “Woh (ex-CM Jiten Manjhi) BJP waalon se milte rahte the. Theek hua hamse alag ho gaye.” (He (Manjhi) was constantly in touch with BJP leaders. It’s good that he left).
After the Centre had launched Agnipath and Agniveer schemes in the country, a massive outrage appeared among youths who were preparing for jobs in the armed forces.
“I had made the particular remark against those priests who eat meat, drink, have no knowledge of Hindu scriptures and recite Hanuman Chalisa when asked to chant holy mantras. I have no respect for such a group and will never be,”
Rupesh Kumar, the SHO of Bodh Gaya police station denied the charges of physical assault.
Manjhi was referring to the Karnataka incident where the temple administration imposed a fine of Rs 23,000 on a Dalit father, who was offering prayer outside the gate of the temple but his two-year-old son entered into it on September 4.
