Patna: With the expansion of Nitish's cabinet in Bihar, former Hindustan Awam Morcha (WE) president and former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi has once again reiterated his old demand. After meeting Chief Minister Nitish at his residence on Monday evening, Manjhi said while talking to the media that he wants another minister and MLC seat of his party in the Bihar government. He wants that his party has another minister in the cabinet.
When the two leaders were asked about the meeting of the two leaders before the Cabinet expansion, they said that at the moment they came to thank Nitish Kumar who had helped him in their health-related matters when he was tested corona infected. This meeting had no political significance. However, when the question was asked about his old demand, he said that it has not been discussed with CM Nitish at this time. But I have also been demanding earlier that our party should be given another minister and MLC post.
Manjhi said, 'I still demand from Nitish Kumar that during cabinet expansion, another leader from my party should be made a minister.' Another one should be nominated for the post of MLC. Jitan Ram Manjhi's party, as a constituent of the NDA, had contested the assembly elections in 2020. Currently, Manjhi has four MLAs and his son Santosh Manjhi is also a minister in the Nitish government. Even after this, before the cabinet expansion, Jitan Ram Manjhi has made this demand for his party.
