Just in: Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's convoy attacked in Dumaria in Gaya district. Manjhi was on his way to meet a LJP leader who had died. Stones were thrown at his convoy, but reports say that nobody was hurt. Details awaited.

A couple of days ago, Manjhi today criticised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar saying he was working under someone's pressure and thus "failed" to deliver especially on law and order front in the state.

"Nitish Kumar is under pressure and hence he would not be able to do anything (on taking action)," the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) president said while referring to cases with regard to RJD leaders Raj Ballabh Yadav, Shahabuddin and others.

"Nitish Kumar ran a good government during 2005-13 but suddenly what happened that things are slipping out of his control. With so much vast experience of running the administration, he would have fared much better, but he is proving to be a 'Nakara' (non-performer)," Manjhi told reporters in Patna.
