Mango and Litchi war in Bihar between Nitish Kumar and Jitan Ram Manjhi


It is an interesting war of mangoes and litchis between Nitish Kumar, the present Chief Minister of Bihar and Jitan Ram Manjhi, who had been dethroned from the Chief Minister post in February. In spite of nit being the Chief Minister, Manjhi continues to occupy the official bungalow of the Chief Minister which has numerous trees of luscious mangoes, sweet litchis and jackfruits in its premises.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 4 June 2015.
And, Nitish Kumar has directed a posse of 24 policemen to guard the fruits and prevent thefts. There are 35 mango trees of the Amrapali and Dasheri variety of the fruit apart from 15 orchards that grow high quality Shahi litchi.
Nitish Kumar has deployed eight sub-inspectors and 16 constables to protect the fruits from falling into wrong hands. Incidentally, the bungalow is spread over five acres of land.
