New Delhi: The news that Nitish Kumar's ally Jitan Ram Manjhi had met with Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday caused quite a stir in political circles, especially since it occurred while the Janata Dal (United) leader was in talks with a number of opposition leaders in an effort to forge an alliance against the BJP.
However, Manjhi, a former chief minister, tried to put an end to the rumours by restating his belief that Kumar is qualified to be prime minister.
