Manjhi became the Chief Minister of Bihar in May 2014 when Nitish resigned from the post of Chief Minister, taking moral responsibility for the defeat of his party JDU in the Lok Sabha elections.
Manjhi had to leave the post of CM
However, in less than a year, Manjhi, facing allegations of trying to split the JDU, had to step down as chief minister, after which Nitish returned as chief minister. Manjhi later formed his own party called Hindustani Awam Morcha and contested the 2015 assembly elections as a member of the NDA.
