Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday accused Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of joining hands with BJP-RSS, and claimed that his decision to resign is a well planned move.
Coming down heavily on Nitish Kumar, ex-Bihar Chief Minister and wife of Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi said that Nitish has stabbed his elder brother Lalu in the back.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday resigned from his post after RJD legislative party decided that Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, against whom corruption charges have been slapped by the CBI, would not be resigning from this post.
After the meeting, Kumar, accompanied by senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi drove to Raj Bhavan to stake claim to form the government.
If there is an insulting defeat to Modi after the 2014 elections, it is the election results in Bihar where he lost to the Opposition's Mahagatbandhan of RJD, JD (U) and Congress. It was after that Nitish Kumar has been asked to form the government. You can criticise Kumar for having no political morality, for using ideological excuses only when it suits him, for caring about nothing but his occupation of the chief minister's chair.
The Congress expressed disappointment last evening over the resignation of Nitish Kumar and said it will continue to strive to resolve the differences in the "grand alliance".
Was Apple behind LG Display's $7B OLED push?
Where Samsung unit holds 97.1 per cent of the market share, LG's monopoly is large-size OLED panels for television. The company already has an LCD panel production plant in Guangzhou that began mass production in 2014.
After handing out the resignation letter to the Governor Keshri Nath Tripathi, Nitish told the media, "Keeping everything in mind, listening to my antaratma (inner voice), it was very hard for me to lead the government".
As they waited to take oath this morning, Nitish Kumar and Sushil Kumar Modi chatted with the ease that years of being together begets. He has formed an alliance with the National democratic Alliance (NDA) to form the new government of Bihar.
"We were aware of what was going on from last 3-4four months". Tejashwi Yadav was foisted by an over-fond father as the deputy chief minister, but Nitish pulled along.
"Bihar had given an anti-communal mandate but Nitish Kumar has gone back to them (the BJP) for his personal political gains", he said.
The massive uproar among the RJD took place which was demanding that Governor should call them being the largest party.
A clear signal of Nitish's growing bonhomie came when he backed the BJP's presidential candidate, Ram Kumar Kovind. "We will inform the governor also", BJP leader Sushil Modi told ANI. All the five and three Independents are likely to support the new government. Around 2:15 am Tejashwi Yadav along with 100 MLAs had reached the Raj Bhawan and protested. My performance perturbed our ally & BJP.
