Jiten Ram Manjhi, a man for all alliances

Hindustan Times  

Former Bihar chief minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, who has been predicting the return of Nitish Kumar to the National Democratic Alliance fold once again for the past six months, are giving sleepless nights to the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal leaders ahead of floor test on February 12. After demanding an additional berth for his party in Bihar’s new NDA cabinet led by Nitish, HAM leader Manjhi expressed displeasure over the portfolio allocated to his party’s only minister, causing some discomfort in the state's ruling NDA. Manjhi’s son and HAM legislator Santosh Kumar Suman — who was among the nine ministers, including the chief minister, to be sworn in on January 28 — was allocated SC, ST welfare as well as Information Technology departments on Sunday. Manjhi, who began his political journey in 1980 as a Congress MLA, first became a state minister in 1983 in Chandrashekhar Singh-led government in Bihar.
