Nagpur.
Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi is arriving in Nagpur by 12 noon flight on Sunday (April 12). After his arrival, Manjhi will drive straight to Deekshabhumi and spend some time there. He will stay in Ravibhavan and is likely to meet close associates of Nagpur-based Bihar leader Anand Mohan and discuss political issues. In the evening at 6, he will attend Deekshabhumi programme. Even though Manjhi is coming to attend a programme at Deekshabhumi the possibility of his meeting with senior BJP leader and Union Surface Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and RSS functionaries could not be ruled out. Assembly elections in Bihar are likely to be held in October. The meeting of Manjhi with Gadkari and RSS functionaries, if happens, could be political and social as well. The former Bihar Chief Minister’s programme at Deekshabhumi could also bring a ray of hope in his political life.
Jitan Ram Manjhi will leave Nagpur by evening flight on April 13.
