Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Manjhi, who previously served as Bihar Chief Minister from 2014 to 2015 and is currently the Union Minister for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, emphasised the necessity for targeted measures to uplift less advantaged Dalit castes.

The Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) founder, who has been a significant figure in Bihar's political landscape, achieved this milestone after a relentless pursuit of the Gaya Lok Sabha seat.

Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras resigned from his position on Tuesday, citing injustice by the BJP towards his Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) in the seat-sharing deal for the Bihar Lok Sabha polls.

A meeting was held at former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi’s residence on Saturday. And speculations have been rife that Yadav’s father Lalu Prasad, the RJD supremo, would put to use his resourcefulness to turn the tables on the NDA during the trust vote.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav offers deputy CM post to the son of former chief minister of Bihar Jitan Ram Manjhi. However, his son has refused to accept the offer and expressed solidarity with the NDA.
