After handing over the resignation as Bihar CM, Nitish Kumar is likely to form a government with NDA in Bihar.
Vinod Tawde, party in charge in Bihar said that a proposal was passed in the meeting today in which we decided to form a government with JDU. "We all were listening to PM Modi's Mann ki Baat and after that the legislature party meeting took place. In that meeting, all the MLAs passed this proposal in which the government of BJP, JDU and other parties of NDA should be formed in Bihar. Samrat Choudhary was selected as the leader of the legislative assembly party. From here all the MLAs will go to a joint meeting with JDU and later will meet the Governor," Tawde said. BJP Bihar Chief, Samrat Chaudhary said that when a proposal came from Nitish Kumar's side to form a new government, the BJP supported it. "It is an emotional moment for me that today I have been selected as the leader of the Legislative Assembly party. I thank PM Modi and everyone for this. The public support that we got in 2020 for the development of Bihar and to end the terror of Lalu Prasad has to be established again in the form of NDA. When Nitish Kumar's proposal came to the BJP, we decided to support it. We have resolved to win 40 Lok Sabha seats from Bihar," he said. Meanwhile, in his first reaction to the political turmoil after handing over his resignation letter to the Governor, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said the state of affairs in the 'Mahagathbandhan' (grand alliance) formed one and a half years ago was 'not good'. "I resigned as chief minister and requested the Governor to dissolve the government. The situation came to this pass as the state of affairs within the ruling alliance in Bihar wasn't good. I sought the advice and opinions of everyone before coming to this decision. I took all opinions and suggestions to heart. The government is being dissolved today," Nitish told reporters on Sunday. "The, which was formed one and a half years ago, was sailing through choppy waters. Though we came together on the basis of a common minimum programme and promises to the people, we failed to live up to expectations and discharge our salient duties. Eventually, we fell out and even stopped being on speaking terms. I was left with no option but to sever all ties with the alliance," the JD(U) supremo said, targeting RJD. (ANI)
