Nitish Kumar parades 130 MLAs before President Pranab Mukherjee

NEW DELHIFeb 11, 2015 (Agency) Former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar paraded 130 MLAs before President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday to underline his claim to form government in the state.Earlier on Tuesday, Nitish flew for Delhi along with two planeloads of MLAs and leaders of supporting political parties to mount pressure on governor Keshari Nath Tripathi against delaying a decision on the political stalemate in Bihar.Though Nitish refused to blame the governor for delaying an invite to him to form government and allowing chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi to indulge in horse



trading, he said he could not wait and see Bihar suffer. "Why is this delay? We nursed Bihar for more than eight years and ensured good governance and rule of law. How can we allow BJP to get all wrong things done through Manjhi and heap the blame on me for that? I have the record of statements made by BJP leaders against me for the wrongs committed by the Manjhi government. They should announce their support to Manjhi. If they do so, I'll expose them the way I played the tape of Modi on bringing back black money from abroad and failing to do so," Nitish said before leaving for Delhi.
