Patna,(BiharTimes): Even as former chief minister Nitish  Kumar was on Monday afternoon, while talking to the  journalists, ruling out replacement of chief minister Jitan  Ram Manjhi some regional television channels were running  detail reports claiming that the latter is on way out. According to the media reports Nitish Kumar is likely to once  again become the chief minister in the next day or two. The reports said that the deteriorating law and order  situation, especially the communal riots in Muzaffarpur
village, will be cited as a reason to replace Manjhi. If these reports are really true than Manjhi may not be there  in his post on January 26.

Reports also said that both the Janata Dal (United) and RJD  leaders are now in favour of change.

It also said that RJD chief Lalu Prasad, initially the  supporter of Manjhi, has changed his stand after Manjhi paid  a visit to the house of his brother-in-law, Sadhu Yadav. However, Janata Dal (United) sources deny all such report of  replacing Manjhi before the Assembly election and dubbed them  speculative.
