When Nitish Kumar borrowed Rs 5

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had to borrow Rs 5 from a bureaucrat to pay for a bus ticket in Patna on Wednesday. Kumar had boarded one of the special buses reserved for women in the state capital, which he was to inaugurate later. When approached by a conductor with an electronic ticket-vending machine, Kumar found he had no money on him. So he asked Amrit Lal Meena, principal secretary, Bihar urban development and housing department, to pay for the ticket. The chief minister often finds himself out of money as he leaves his home without any.
