Former Chief Minister of Bihar and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi has alleged that Nitish Kumar started the conspiracy in an attempt to seize the Chief Ministers seat.Speaking to the reporters in Patna, Manjhi said “It looks like, as per a conspiracy, someone is giving food with some poisonous substance in it to him (Nitish Kumar) to claim his (CM) seat. The result of it was the statement he made about women and the words he used against me yesterday”.Manjhis statement came after a noisy session in the Bihar Legislative Assembly on Thursday when Nitish Kumar engaged in a fiery exchange with the former Chief Minister in a debate on reservation bills.Earlier on the day, Manjhi expressed his support for expanding the reservation quotas and raised concerns about the insufficient representation of Scheduled Castes (SC) among the officers on higher posts. He continued by pointing out that it stands at a mere 3% despite having a 15% reservation for years. He appealed for a detailed review of the impact of reservation.Nitish Kumar respondsHowever, Bihar CM shouted at Manjhi, Who made you the CM I was a fool to make you CM.
