Bihar CM, a dozen ministers possess firearms

 


Patna,(BiharTimes): Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and a  dozen of his ministers possess various types of firearms,  including double barrel guns, rifles, pistols and revolvers.

The chief minister has a double barrel gun and a rifle worth  Rs one lakh. His total movable and immovable assets are worth  Rs 66.81 lakh, much less than several of his ministerial  colleagues.  Manjhi and his 30 ministers declared their wealth on the last  day of 2014.

Manjhi’s assets have not shown any sign of growth over 2013,  though in May last he was elevated to the post of the chief  minister of Bihar. 

According to the declaration he keeps Rs 39,000 cash in hand,  including Rs 17,000 with his wife. This is slightly less than  Rs 40,000 cash he and his wife had in 2013. He has three bank accounts and total deposits worth Rs 13.65  lakh, but has no investment in bonds, shares or insurance  policies. Manjhi purchased a car in 2005 and bought a multi-utility  vehicle in 2011. 

Manjhi has no jewellery in his name, but his wife has 60  grams of gold ornaments and 250 grams of silver. Together  they are valued at around Rs 1.78 lakh.  The chief minister owns five acres of cultivable land worth  Rs 37 lakh in his native Mahkar village of Gaya district.
