Nitish Kumar, JDU Chief to the media: Everyone in the party was of the opinion to leave NDA.Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday submitted his resignation to Governor Faghu Chauhan hours after he announced the JD(U)’s alliance with the BJP has ended. In his first statement following his meeting with Governor Chauhan, Kumar said the decision to sever ties with NDA was taken by JD(U). “All MPs and MLAs are at a consensus that we should leave the NDA," he said.
Kumar later left for a meeting with former chief minister Rabri Devi’s house to hold discussions with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. Kumar, who is expected to form a fresh government with the support of the entire opposition including RJD, told Tejashwi Yadav to forget “what happened in 2017 and start a new chapter.Amid growing differences between the BJP and JD(U), Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan was sent to hold meetings with Kumar a few times in recent months to defuse the crisis brewing due to dissatisfaction over alleged attempts from a section of BJP leaders to assert dominance and put their ally in the shade. The BJP hoped that Home Minister Amit Shah’s assertion at a recent meeting of the state party leaders in Patna that its alliance with the JD(U) will continue for the next Lok Sabha as well assembly polls in 2024 and 2025 will reassure the ally.
