Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Thursday alleged that he was behind the move to allow Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi more time to prove his majority so that "horse-trading" of MLAs could be done. Denouncing the decision to ask Manjhi to prove majority on February 20 and not immediately as demanded by him, Kumar said the Governor was following the "script" written at the "highest level" in the national capital so that "license for horse-trading" given by the Centre could be executed. Accusing ruling BJP of "throttling" democracy, he said the saffron party has told Manjhi to lure about 35 MLAs if he needed their support and is helping him in doing so. "First a delay (by Governor) in taking decision and then giving him (Manjhi) more time show that it is being done according to the script written in Delhi and to give adequate time to execute the license for horse-trading. "This has been decided at the highest level. It started after Manjhi met the Prime Minister. The Governor was earlier convinced that an early floor test should be held. But things changed after Manjhi's meeting with the Prime Minister. The script was written here," Kumar told reporters,
