After the postponement of the protest program, Manjhi, while discussing with the journalists, announced that after Chhath, he will go to Rajghat, the tomb of Mahatma Gandhi in Delhi and protest against Nitish Kumar.
Taking Nitish Kumar to task, he said that Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar is our God. We wanted to garland his statue and hold a silent protest, but we were not allowed to do so. He is not allowed to speak in the Assembly, here too he is being stopped from garlanding him.
He also said that he has nothing to do with the Constitution and democracy, using abusive language against a senior leader of the Dalit community like us, who is even older than him (Nitish), shows his arrogant behaviour.
The chief of Hindustani Awam Morcha said that Nitish insulted not only Jitan Ram Manjhi but all the Dalits of Bihar and the country. He said in a clear tone that we supported the reservation bill, then what is there to oppose in it. He said that give wisdom to Nitish.
