Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Saturday called for a state cabinet meeting, scheduled to take place at 2 p.m.
According to reports, the meet scheduled by Manjhi is close to a Janata Dal (United) Legislative Party meeting called by party chief Sharad Yadav.
Earlier, Manjhi sent a recommendation to Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi to sack two state cabinet ministers. Lallan Singh and P. K. Shahi, the two ministers in question, are reportedly close to Nitish Kumar and also behind the removal of Manjhi from his chief ministerial post.
Manjhi who has embarrassed his party on several occasions during his short tenure as the Chief Minister, earlier declared the meeting called by Sharad Yadav as 'illegal'.
Nitish, who had resigned as the Chief Minister owning responsibility for his party getting only two of Bihar's 40 Lok Sabha seats, had handpicked Manjhi to take his place.
