Someone ‘lacing Nitish Kumar’s food with poison’ to dethrone him from Bihar CM’s chair, claims Manjhi

Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) chief and former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Friday claimed that “poisonous substances” were being mixed in the food of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by his close associates to dethrone him from the chair.

Mr. Manjhi’s startling statement came a day after Mr. Kumar had lost his cool against him for doubting the veracity of the caste-based survey report.

On Thursday, Mr. Kumar screamed at Mr. Manjhi and stated that it was due to his stupidity that the founder of HAM(S) was made the Chief Minister of the State back in 2014. Mr. Manjhi said he felt pained at being called in singular term by Mr. Kumar during the tirade in the Assembly as he is a senior to Mr. Kumar in both age and political career.
