Who has submitted his resignation as the NDA chief minister in Bihar to the state governor Phagu Chauhan?
A)
Lalan Singh
B)
Rabri Devi
C)
Tejashwi Yadav
D)
Nitish Kumar

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Nitish Kumar


Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar resigned on Tuesday(9th Aug 2022) breaking his alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kumar, earlier in the day, held a meeting with the JD(U) leaders to discuss his next future political moves. He then sought time from Governor Phagu Chauhan.
 
He also submitted a support letter of 160 MLAs to stake claims to form a new government. In the 243-member assembly, the BJP has 77 lawmakers and JD (U) 45. The RJD is currently the single-largest party with 79 MLAs, Congress 19 and the CPI(ML)-led Left Front 17.
 
Nitish Kumar left for the residence of RDJ patriarch Lalu Yadav’s wife Rabri Devi in Patna to hold talks with Tejashwi Yadav, who is likely to get the deputy chief minister’s post in the new coalition government.
 
Why does this happen?
The tensions between the JD(U) and BJP, which kept simmering as the latter’s state-level leaders were accused of taking potshots at the CM, reached a breaking point after JD(U) leader RCP Singh was accused by a section of the party of conspiring to create a split..
