Amidst growing tension within the ruling Mahagathbandhan alliance in Bihar, former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi of the Hindustani Awam Morcha has predicted that the alliance will not last long. He also criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his ambitions of becoming a Prime Minister, saying that this may lead to a breakup of the alliance.
