The ruling JD (U) of Bihar state has expelled its Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi from the party after he refuses to step down from his post to give way to Nitish Kumar. A high drama takes place in the party throughout the day today when party president Sharad Yadav and the chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi hold meetings with their party MLAs and Ministers.
CM Jitan Ram Manjhi has summoned an emergency cabinet meeting around 2 pm as a last attempt to prevent the party MLAs electing Nitish Kumar as leader of the house. He moves a resolution to dissolve the government, but only 7 out of 29 ministers have backed it.
The JD (U) president Sharad Yadav also holds a meeting with party MLAs. They have unanimously elected Nitish Kumar as their leader of the house. Later, they passed a resolution expelling their Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi from the party for revolting against the party.
JD (U) leaders will meet the governor tonight and inform him about the election of Nitish Kumar as the party leader of the house and submit letters of MLAs supporting him. Laloo Prasad Yadav’s RJD and the Congress party are also supporting him. Hence, Nitish Kumar may take oath very soon as the Chief Minister of Bihar.
