Bihar polls: Manjhi hits out at Nitish Kumar

Patna, Sept 9: Ahead of the upcoming Bihar assembly elections on Tuesday, Sept 8 the battle of power took a new level.

Poll-bound Bihar is one of the least developed states of India. At the time when assembly elections are about to take place, the political leaders of the state are indulged in mud slinging.

We are talking about the former chief minister of Bihar, Jitan Ram Manjhi who made an irresponsible remark and said, "the number of rape cases are increasing in the state and such crimes are commited by a particular caste of people."
