"The BJP has always been supporting Manjhi. We have been saying for quite some time that BJP is out-and-out behind this game. We have been urging them for so many days to come out into the open and say that they support him," Dr Alok said.

Earlier this week, JD (U) chief Sharad Yadav had suspended seven ministers loyal to Manjhi from the party, claiming that they have not followed the party directive. Manjhi remains confident of gaining the vote of confidence in the Bihar Assembly, ahead of the floor test on Friday.
