Jehanabad: A man chopped off his fingers as a thanks giving to a local deity after Nitish Kumar took oath as Chief Minister on Friday. Anil Sharma, an avid supporter of Nitish Kumar feels he is the only leader in Bihar who can bring “development with justice” in the state and had been seeking divine blessings for the success of Mr Kumar in assembly election.
Anil Kumar popularly known as Ali Baba by people belonging to Kako and Vena villages of Jehanabad district said he along with other local villagers has full faith in the local deity Goriya Baba and this is the third time he offered his finger as a thanks giving.
Anil Kumar who had gone to Patna to greet and congratulate the CM on Friday had to return without meeting him as there was a long queue of visitors waiting outside his official residence to greet him and congratulate him.
