According to the report of Dainik Bhaskar, in the book ‘Nitish Kumar: Through the eyes of intimate friends’, friend Mita tells that Nitish did not have money to contest the elections. Then wife Manju Devi took her savings of two and a half years and handed it over to Nitish. At that time, these 20 thousand rupees proved to be a straw to help Nitish sink.
