Jitan Ram Manjhi, the political chameleon of Bihar, has truly mastered the art of party-hopping over his illustrious 43-year career. Starting his political journey with the Congress, he must have thought, “Why stick with one party when you can collect the whole set?” It’s like a political version of Pokémon – gotta catch ’em all!
Our dear Manjhi has been a minister under more chief ministers than most people change their passwords. From Chandrashekhar Singh to Lalu Prasad Yadav, he’s played musical chairs in Bihar’s political arena. It’s almost as if he has a “Minister for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Welfare” badge collection.
But wait, there’s more! Manjhi, expelled from JD(U) like a kid from a school club, emerged as a major Dalit face. It’s like he had a backup plan for every political fallout – just switch parties and voila, crisis averted!
In his 43-year political rollercoaster, Manjhi has changed parties eight times. That’s more costume changes than Lady Gaga at a concert. One can imagine him saying, “New party, who dis?” every time he switches allegiance.
In a recent episode of “As Bihar Turns,” Manjhi declared, with the sincerity of a used car salesman, that he would never abandon Nitish Kumar. Well, folks, spoiler alert: the political tides changed, and here we are, witnessing the Manjhi-Nitish Nautanki, the soap opera we didn’t know we needed.
As he prepares for his next grand entrance into the political circus, Manjhi convenes his party’s national executive meeting. It’s like planning the next season of a reality show where alliances shift faster than a game of musical chairs in a hurricane.
In the end, Manjhi’s political journey is a testament to the evergreen saying – “In politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.” Jitan Ram Manjhi, the ultimate survivor, keeps proving that the only constant in his political career is change. Who needs stability when you can have a political journey as unpredictable as Bihar’s weather?
In the kaleidoscope of Bihar’s political landscape, Jitan Ram Manjhi emerges as the ever-changing protagonist, dancing to the tunes of political pragmatism. As he gears up for his next act, navigating the turbulent waters of Bihar’s politics, one can’t help but marvel at the resilience and adaptability of this seasoned player. In a world where loyalty is a fleeting concept, Manjhi remains the enigmatic performer, leaving us wondering what twist awaits in the next episode of his political drama. The only certainty in this unpredictable journey is that Jitan Ram Manjhi will continue to defy expectations, proving that in the chaotic dance of Bihar politics, he remains the undisputed master of the ever-elusive political waltz.
