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.
He emphasised the urgency of improving the law and order situation and instructed the officials to intensify their efforts to ensure the safety and security of the state's residents.
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.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday announced a compensation of Rs 4 Lakhs each for the bereaved families of 4 people who died due to lightning in Siwan, Supaul and Rohtas.
The issue of special status and economic package for Bihar was also discussed in the meeting.
The JDU National Executive meeting comes amid reports of Sanjay Jha being elevated to the post of party president.
Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar are both indispensable to the NDA Government. They have now revived their old demands of special category status for their states with renewed vigour, which they had so passionately demanded in the past.
Mr Tyagi declined to name the leaders who offered the Prime Ministership to Mr Kumar.
The comments made by the veteran JDU leader during a meeting of newly-elected NDA MPs set at rest speculations in the Opposition camp about his preference.
