Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated Nitish Kumar on his resignation as Bihar chief minister. After a brief meeting with JDU MLAs, Kumar submitted his resignation to Bihar Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi. Kumar said that it had become difficult for him to work as the RJD leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, didn’t explain the corruption charges against them.
Modi welcomed Kumar’s decision saying it was the need of the hour. “To rise above political differences and fight against corruption in country and in Bihar in particular, for development is need of the hour,” tweeted Modi.
Prime Minister Modi also stated that 1.25 billion citizens of India support and welcome this act of honesty.
The fate of the ‘grand alliance’ remains unclear as it is still doubtful whether the alliance will withstand the test of times. The latest development will only widen the gap between the RJD and JDU. Meanwhile, with Nitish Kumar’s resignation, BJP’s Parliamentary Board is expected to meet today and discuss the Bihar political crisis as well.
“We had followed the Gathbandhan Dharma and had tried to protect it. But now my conscience does not allow me to continue”, commented Nitish Kumar after his resignation. Kumar doesn’t rule out taking BJP support for forming government. “Whatever had to happen has happened. Now see what happens next”, said the ex-Bihar Chief Minister.
