Bihar: Amid the ongoing political crisis in Bihar, CM Nitish Kumar is likely to resign from his post by today noon, said reliable reports. As per a report by India Today TV, the JD-U veteran is likely to address a legislative meeting today morning.
Post the completion of which, he will be submitting his resignation to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath at the Raj Bhavan, before claiming to form a new government with support from BJP.
The indication about the swearing-in ceremony in Raj Bhawan has got stronger with the fact that the CMO has directed the officials to open the cabinet secretariat on Sunday.
Nitish Kumar has been proving it for the last 23 years as he has become the chief minister of Bihar 8 times with the help of the BJP and the RJD. His love-hate story with these two parties is unfurling once again as he is expected to leave the RJD and join hands with the BJP to take oath for the ninth time in Bihar.
Nitish Kumar took oath as the chief minister of Bihar for the first time in 2000 with the help of the BJP but he resigned within one week after his government was reduced to a minority. At that time, Bihar and Jharkhand were one state and the NDA had 151 MLAs while the RJD led alliance had 159 MLAs in the 324-member Bihar assembly.
