PATNA: Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, alleged on Monday that Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, resigned from his post as a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) under pressure from the BJP.
Reacting to the development, Tejashwi said that while it is customary for a leader elected to another legislative body to resign from their earlier position, the situation in Nitish Kumar’s case appears different.
“This is not just a procedural matter. The decision has been taken under pressure, against Nitish Kumar’s own wishes. It is clear that BJP leaders have deceived both Nitish Kumar and the people of the state, ” he alleged.
Tejashwi further claimed that his party had warned during the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections that if the NDA returned to power, the BJP would eventually sideline Nitish Kumar.
