Bhagirath Manjhi, son of the renowned 'Mountain Man' Dashrath Manjhi, has voiced his dissatisfaction after being overlooked for a Congress ticket in the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Despite alleged promises, Manjhi remains ticketless as the election draws near, revealing his discontent in a conversation with ANI.

After a four-day stay in Delhi, Manjhi shared his frustration over unmet promises despite filing all required documents. Known nationwide, his father Dashrath courageously carved a path through a hill in Gehlaur village, an endeavor spanning 22 years.

As Mahagathbandhan struggles with internal coordination, NDA has already set its seat-sharing formula. Bihar polls are slated for November 6 and 11, with results expected on November 14, spotlighting major political dynamics.
