Answer
The split between Jitan Ram Manjhi and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in 2017 was largely due to allegations of corruption within the party. Manjhi, who had served as the Chief Minister of Bihar from 2014 to 2015, felt that the RJD was no longer adhering to its core values and principles, and that it had become embroiled in corrupt practices.
