NDTV reports: On a day that Arvind Kejriwal abandoned his plans to hold public meetings, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that the concept was his brainchild.

"There was no past example of such a programme when a chief minister interacted directly with the common man. It was started in Bihar during my regime," he said.

Initially, Kumar's janta darbars were held twice a week. They now occur every Monday.
