He said former chief minister and senior JD-U leader Nitish Kumar was the best candidate but the next chief minister should be a Dalit.

“Nitish Kumar is the best option… but the next chief minister should be a Dalit,” Manjhi said in Hindi.

He said Dalits in Bihar have become united after he became chief minister.

“Dalits are now supporting the JD-U and it would help the party in the next assembly polls,” he said.
