Former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Friday advised incumbent Nitish Kumar to watch latest Bollywood release 'Manjhi' to know the real aspects of development.
"Manjhi is a very directive film. Youngsters should go out in theatres to see this film," Manjhi told ANI.
"Making tall structures like Vidhan Bhavan, Convention Centre, etc is not only the development of Bihar. I would advise Nitish ji to go and watch this film if he wants to see the development of Bihar. He is boasting of his success in the entire country whereas the ground reality is completely different," he added.
'Manjhi - The Mountain Man' is an Indian biographical film, based on the life of Dashrath Manjhi. Manjhi was a poor labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya who carved a path through a mountain using only a hammer and chisel.
