Amid a day of fast-moving political developments, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced his resignation after meeting Governor Phagu Chauhan on Tuesday. Nitish Kumar, who went to Raj Bhavan alone, announced his resignation to the waiting media after coming out.
"I was the chief minister of Bihar. Now, I have given my resignation from the post of Chief Minister," he said.
Sources said that Nitish Kumar accused the BJP of "horse trading" and giving some party leaders lucrative offers to make them ministers. He said that he has proof of this.
Meanwhile, hilarious memes have flooded Twitter after Nitish Kumar’s break-up with BJP.
Have a look at some of the tweets below:
It is learnt that Nitish Kumar is expecting the Governor to invite him to form the government again, as he has submitted signatures of his party's MLAs, as well as those of the Mahagathbandhan before Bihar governor.
As Tejashwi Yadav has already given documents of support of Mahagathbandhan MLAs of Mahagathbandhan to Nitish Kumar, he may recommend the name of Nitish Kumar only.
