Manjhi shared a personal story about Santosh Kumar Suman. He said Santosh lost his mother when he was only eight months old. The family faced a difficult time after the tragedy. Relatives helped raise the child in those early years.

Manjhi said his sister helped take care of the baby and fed him when he was very young. He explained that love and support in the family helped Santosh grow strong.

During the event, Jitan Ram Manjhi says Santosh Suman is his stepson, but he never treated him differently. He said he worked hard to support Santosh’s education and future.

At a party event in Gaya, Manjhi said two Rajya Sabha seats went to BJP, two to JD(U), and one to LJP, while HAM got none. “After BJP, HAM has the strongest vote share. Yet, we were ignored,” he said. He asked his son to “let go of attachment to the ministerial post” if the seat is not granted.

Manjhi encouraged party workers to strengthen HAM and work for greater influence. He said the party should assert its demands boldly and prepare for bigger roles.

His remarks show rising tension in the NDA over political representation. HAM may push harder for its share of power in upcoming elections.

The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader explained that Manjhi is senior and honorable. He called his anger a blessing and promised to improve so that no elder remains upset. Both Chirag and Manjhi are ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, yet their regular disagreements often raise doubts about NDA’s unity in Bihar.

Chirag Paswan on Jitan Ram Manjhi came during an interview where he said, “I hold dignity in my politics. I never use harsh words or personal attacks. Politics may divide us, but respect keeps us connected.” He also referred to Tejashwi Yadav as his younger brother, Rabri Devi as a mother figure, and Prashant Kishor as a friend.

Despite past tensions, Chirag insisted that Manjhi is like a father to him. As elections approach, his words show both respect and an attempt to heal NDA’s internal rifts.
