Nitish Kumar resigns as Bihar CM. Plan to Compete for PM in 2024?

Rival parties on Tuesday said the JD(U) shattering ranks with the BJP is a "strong accusation" of the saffron party's "politics of intimidation" and demonstrates a change in Indian politics. Before the day, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar met Governor Phagu Chauhan and tendered his resignation. It came after the conclusion to leave the BJP-led NDA was accepted at a meeting of JD(U) MPs and MLAs at Kumar's place.

 

"BJP's authoritarianism leaves no scope for cooperation. After Akalis & Shiv Sena, JD(U) is the latest example. Cracks are visual in the relationship of BJP & AIADMK," Communist Party of India general secretary D Raja expressed in a tweet.

CPI MP Binoy Viswam said the circumstances in Bihar show that a change is underway.

 

"Bihar brings the message of far-reaching change in Indian politics. Its outcome depends on the level of insight expected from the important players. The left will play the responsible role in its consistant fight against RSS-BJP," said Viswam in a tweet.

 

Kumar is expected to create a new government with the help of the entire opposition, including the RJD and the Left parties.

 

Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien said the situation in Bihar is one of the causes behind the Parliament session being cut short by the government.

#ParliamentMonsoonSession FOUR DAYS EARLY," O'Brien tweeted.

The monsoon session of Parliament terminated four days ahead of schedule on Monday.
