Amid deepening political crisis in Bihar, Janata Dal-United leader Nitish Kumar will on Monday stake his claim to the chief minister's post and parade the MLAs in his support before the state's Governor this afternoon.

The crisis in Bihar's ruling JD-U deepened further on Sunday, as a defiant Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi asserted that he will not resign, while the rival camp led by Nitish Kumar decided to parade legislators at Raj Bhavan on Monday and stake claim to power.

By Monday morning, reports emerged that Manjhi could support Nitish Kumar if he was given Deputy CM's post.
