Chief of NDA constituent Hindustani Awam Morcha & son of ex-CM Jitan Ram Majhi, Suman was among 8 ministers sworn into new Nitish cabinet. He resigned from Nitish’s former govt last June.
Manjhi says Nitish wanted him to be ‘rubber stamp CM’ & JD(U) chief’s use of ‘derogatory terms’ for him indicates that he has become ‘mentally unstable’.
Santosh Suman submits his resignation & claims he is trying to save Hindustani Awam Morcha. Exit will leave Bihar's ruling Mahagathbandhan without a Dalit face in cabinet.
In interview with ThePrint, HAM’s Jitan Ram Manjhi said that despite problems, CM Nitish Kumar has ensured good governance, while also dismissing the LJP’s prospects in Bihar polls.
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar wants to counter the charges of neglecting Dalits, and so the party is looking for fresh Dalit faces to field in the state polls, JDU leaders say.
The Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) didn't announce whether it would merge with any other party or become part of some other alliance ahead of the Bihar polls.
Jitan Ram Manjhi, Upendra Kushwaha & Mukesh Sahani are still part of RJD-Congress grand alliance, 6 months before polls. But things are looking bleak for them.
