Nitish Kumar resigns following tension in Bihar coalition Last Updated : 26 Jul 2017 07:49:57 PM IST File photo:Nitish Kumar
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has resigned as Bihar Chief Minister . The move happened after Kumar met Governor Kesari Nath Tripathi at Raj Bhawan amidst a standoff with ally Lalu Prasad-led RJD.
The decision was taken after the Janata Dal United (JD(U)) legislative meet. The entire JDU cabinet is likely to follow, according to some media reports.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad ruled out the resignation of his son, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, over the land-for-hotels case on 26 July, adding that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar never asked him to do so. “It is the media which is trying to create a rift. I am in touch with him (Nitish). In fact, I talked to him last night as well," he said.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that he had quit in the interest of the state after failing to resolve a crisis plaguing the ruling Grand Alliance.
"I have resigned for the sake of Bihar," the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader told the media after meeting Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi who accepted his resignation.
He made it clear that it was becoming difficult to continue to head the coalition of his party, the RJD -- whose Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav is facing corruption charges -- and the Congress.
BJP MP from Bihar, RK Singh, hinted that BJP would welcome a BJP-JDU alliance in the state..
