Clash between supporters of Manjhi and Nitish at the Bihar's party HQ

India TV News  

Patna: There was a minor clash between both the supporters of Bihar Chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and Nitish Kumar at the state party office located at Beer Chand Patel marg on Friday noon. The internal difference in the ruling party have emerged as a result of allegation and counter allegations by the Nitish and Manjhi supporters. The attempts by the JD's top leadership to ensure a “peaceful” handover of the Chief Minister's post from Jitan Ram Manjhi back to Nitish Kumar appears to have hit a hurdle as Manjhi has decided to stay away from a meeting of the party's legislators on February 7 to seal the deal. JD national president Sharad Yadav, meanwhile, met Nitish and Manjhi separately on Thursday to “ensure a smooth transition”.
