After coming out of Raj Bhawan Nitesh Kumar declared this in front of the media about his resignation to Governor Rajendra Arlekar. Moreover, Nitish Kumar said he asked the governor that he is out of the Mahaghatbandan. The Governor can take the required action. Furthermore, he said that nothing was going right here as well in the Indi alliance despite his hard efforts to build this alliance. Party members and leaders of JDU have also shown their issues from time to time.

Nitish Kumar said about the next plan

Nitish Kumar also gave a hint to the media professionals by saying to come on the next development. Moreover, now the old partners i.e. NDA leaders and JDU will decide about the coming plan.

It seems to be clear that Nitish Kumar resigned as chief minister to become the next chief minister with the support of NDA.

Seat status in Bihar

The magic figure of 122 is required for any alliance to form a government in Bihar. BJP has 78 MLAs in Bihar Assembly which has 243 MLAs. Whereas four MLAs of Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party ‘Hum’ are also with him. In such a situation, the total strength of NDA is 82. JDU of Nitish Kumar has 45 MLAs. In such a situation, if they become a part of the NDA alliance, this number reaches 127. Which is 5 more than the figure of 122 required for the majority. That means there is no need to make many arrangements.

Talking about RJD, the party has a total of 79 MLAs in the assembly. Whereas from India Bloc, together with Congress and Left parties, this number reaches 114. Meaning 8 away from the majority mark. Congress has 19 seats and the Left has 16 seats. Hence they have to put efforts into forming the government.
