Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi today alleged that Nitish Kumar's camp was trying to "frighten MLAs" by spreading rumours that he was "conspiring" with BJP to have president's rule imposed in Bihar and accused his rival of parading "bogus" MLAs.

Manjhi, who was expelled by the JD-U after he refused to resign, said it was for the BJP to decide if it wanted to support him or not and he had met Union ministers and Bihar governor for official work.

He said the JD-U and Kumar, who has staked claim to form the government in Bihar, were spreading rumours that the president's rule will be imposed in Bihar to win over MLAs and said he had no such intentions.

"They are frightening MLAs with rumour that I am working for imposing the president's rule in Bihar. It's completely untrue. If I had wished so, I would have recommended it long back. I will win trust vote on February 20," he told reporters, saying he has urged every party to support him.
