‘I’m no rubber stamp,’ says Nitish Kumar’s successor Jitan Ram Manjhi

Jitan Ram Manjhi, who will take over as Bihar’s new Chief Minister after Nitish Kumar’s resignation, today insisted that he was “not a rubber stamp.” Mr Kumar resigned as Chief Minister on Saturday taking moral responsibility for his party’s defeat in the national election. On Monday, handpicked Mr Manjhi to succeed him, a move that was immediately seized by his critics as an attempt to install a man he can easily control. (Audio in Hindi)
