Bihar's new chief minister invoked three decades of political rivalry - jails, alliances and broken loyalties - to explain why Lalu Yadav deserves credit for putting him in power.
Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has once again questioned the implementation of Bihar’s prohibition policy.
Raising the issue in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Madhav Anand, legislative party leader of the Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM), called for a review of the prohibition law.
In a show of strength ahead of assembly elections in the state, former chief minister of Bihar and founder of the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) Jitan Ram Manjhi organised a Dalit rally in Patna on Friday.
After the flag-hoisting ceremony on the Republic Day, Manjhi said Nitish has been working hard for Bihar’s development despite several obstacles.
“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.
