Patna January 22, 2025: Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has clarified that he has not made any statement about resigning from the central government cabinet.
He criticized certain web portals and news channels for propagating misleading information, claiming that “Jitan Ram Manjhi will resign from the cabinet.”
Explaining the context, Manjhi stated, “During the Munger meeting, I mentioned the delay, saying, “You people are running late, and because of this, I might miss my flight and will have to leave the cabinet.’ This was completely misinterpreted.”
Jitan Ram Manjhi said he will stay with PM Modi till his last breath:
He emphasized, “I want to make it clear to everyone that I will not leave Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s side until my last breath. We are all working for the progress of the country and Bihar. However, some media outlets, acting on the behest of the opposition, are attempting to create divisions.”
Jitan Ram Manjhi issued a strong words to such media houses, stating, “I urge these people to be cautious. Otherwise, I will take legal action against them and file a complaint with the Press Council of India.
The statement came after Manjhi attended the Bhuiya-Mushar rally in Munger on Tuesday.
Jitan Ram Manjhi was disappointed with not given seats in Jharkhand and Delhi:
During the public meeting in Munger, Manjhi expressed disappointment over the neglect of HAM in seat-sharing arrangements during elections in Jharkhand and Delhi and demanded that his party be given seats that reflect its support base and relevance.
Manjhi strongly defended his party’s relevance and asserted that HAM has a substantial mass base, citing the turnout at his public meetings as proof.
“Do we have no existence? They think we are irrelevant. But those who doubt should come and see the large number of people attending my meetings. I have held multiple public gatherings in recent days, and the turnout speaks for itself,” he said.
“When people are with us, and I have voted, why were we not given seats? I am not asking for seats for my benefit but for the benefit of the Dalit and Mahadalits communities,” he said.
Manjhi added that he is willing to contest the assembly elections on 20 seats, significantly fewer than the 40 seats his party workers are demanding. He warned that he would not accept fewer than 20 seats in the upcoming elections.
“If our 20 MLAs win, we will ensure that all work for Dalits is completed,” he stated.
