In a day of fast-moving political developments in Bihar, Nitish Kumar has resigned from the post of Chief Minister after splitting with ally BJP for a second time in eight years. He met Governor Phagu Chauhan today afternoon and submitted his resignation. "All MPs and MLAs are at a consensus that we should leave the NDA," JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar said after submitting his resignation.
Earlier today, senior RJD leader Upendra Kushwaha in a tweet had congratulated Kumar for leading a “new coalition in new form”, implicitly acknowledging the split and embracing the RJD-led ‘Mahagathbandhan’ (Grand Alliance) to continue in office.
