Bihar Elections: Jitan Ram Manjhi Stakes Claim for CM Post if HAM Wins 20 Seats
Former Bihar Chief Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi has made a significant political statement ahead of the upcoming state elections. He asserted that if his party secures at least 20 seats, he will claim the right to choose the Chief Minister from HAM. This statement has triggered a major political debate, as it positions Manjhi as a potential CM candidate and challenges existing power equations in Bihar. His remarks come at a crucial time when alliances are being forged, and parties are strategizing their electoral prospects. Manjhi’s declaration is expected to put pressure on both the ruling and opposition alliances, making seat-sharing talks even more complex. His statement also signals HAM’s ambition to play a decisive role in the formation of the next Bihar government. As election campaigns gain momentum, Manjhi’s bold claim is set to intensify political negotiations and rivalries in the state.
