Ex-Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi announces alliance with BJP ahead of assembly polls

Patna/New Delhi, June 11 (IBNS): Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Thursday announced alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming assembly polls in Bihar after he met the party's chief Amit Shah in New Delhi.
He has announced the alliance to take on the "unholy alliance" of Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in the Bihar polls.
 
Manjhi launched his Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) after being expelled from the JD-U earlier this year.
 
Shah also held a meeting with Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) president and minister of state for human resource development Upendra Kushwaha.
 
Lalu Prasad Yadav had earlier invited Manjhi to join the proposed Janata Parivaar.
 
However, Manjhi had reportedly rejected the invitation.
 
Manjhi was named as Bihar CM on May 17, 2014 after Nitish resigned following the party's electoral drubbing in the last Lok Sabha  polls.
 
But he was expelled after former CM and party leader Nitish Kumar staked claim to form the government in the state when 97 MLAs  unanimously elected him as the the leader of the state Assembly at a  legislative party meeting.
