Amid the prevailing tension in the Bihar Grand Alliance, state Chief Minister
Nitish Kumar resigned from his post on Wednesday even as he met Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi. Nitish Kumar’s decision to quit was taken at a meeting of JD(U) MLAs on Wednesday evening. The MLAs reportedly endorsed his decision to quit. The latest development will only widen the gap between the two parties. Meanwhile, with Nitish Kumar’s resignation, BJP’s Parliamentary Board is expected to meet today and discuss the Bihar political crisis as well.
Nitish Kumar also said he had spoken to various Congress leaders, including party vice-president Rahul Gandhi on the issue. “There are many Congress leaders in Bihar. We also asked them to find a solution to all this. So now I have decided to keep myself away,” he said, adding that his resignation has been accepted by Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi.
