Devi, is a angarwadi worker in her village.

She said that Manjhi changed after he was elected MP in 2004 and started living with another woman Rani.

However, Manjhi told rediff.com over telephone that his wife's charges against him were baseless, and a part of a conspiracy to damage his political career .
