A young man was arrested by police after he hurled a shoe at Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Monday during his weekly Janata Durbar (public meeting) programme held at his official residence here.
The man, identified as Amitesh Kumar from Chhapra of Saran district, was reportedly fed up with visiting the Janata Durbar for the last two years for redressing his grievances. He was also heard accusing the Chief Minister of promoting caste politics in the state.
The shoe, however, missed the Chief Minister, who was sitting on his chair while taking complaints from the people.When the security personnel overpowered the youth, he was heard shouting: “Please kill me..I don’t want to live now. I’m fed up with the system and this farce of the Janata Durbar”.
“Only grievance letters and papers are being collected here but no one bothers to take action on them. I’ve been visiting here for the last two years but no one takes care of my grievances,” he kept shouting while in police custody.
It was not known what his complaints or grievances were.
