Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday evening attended an Iftar party hosted by Hindustani Awam Morcha president and former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi at his residence in Patna. The growing bonhomie between Kumar and Manjhi displayed in the last two days has raised the political temperature in the state, especially after JD(U) president’s decision to not join the Modi government and to not give any representation to the BJP and LJP in the recent Cabinet expansion.
