[It was only on the Feb. 8 last, less than a fortnight back, Jitan Ram Manjhi, Bihar's Chief Minister, had claimed: "Manjhi ki nao kabhi nahin dubti hain (Manjhi's boat never sinks)." (See: <http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-in-troubled-waters-bihar-cm-says-manjhi-s-boat-never-sinks-2059208>.) But, that's a long time as it appears. Today at 10.34 AM, just before the test of strength on the floor of the assembly, he submitted his resignation to the Bihar Governor, despite the second largest party in the assembly, the BJP, having declared its support for him. Allegations are flying thick and fast.
Now all eyes are on the Governor, infamous for his role as the Speaker of the UP assembly.
