Patna: BJP national president Nitin Nabin, the MLA from Bihar’s Bankipur, who was elected to the Rajya Sabha two weeks ago, will give up his Assembly membership on Monday.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is also set to resign from the state legislative council on Monday. The JD(U) supremo was elected to the upper House of Parliament on March 16.
On the resignation of newly elected Rajya Sabha MPs Nitin Nabin as MLA and Nitish Kumar as MLC, Bihar Legislative Assembly Speaker Prem Kumar says, “I have accepted the resignation of Nitin Nabin… I have issued instructions to initiate the necessary further proceedings. An official letter has been issued, and a formal notification will also be released shortly.
I have also received confirmation that the Chief Minister of Bihar has tendered his resignation within the Council. This is, truly, a deeply emotional moment; we have worked together for a very long time. Although this parting naturally evokes a sense of unease and concern, I remain fully confident that his focus will always remain squarely centred on the welfare of Bihar.
Both of these leaders have consistently played a pivotal role in the politics of both the nation and the State of Bihar. Our bond is a long-standing one, it existed in the past, endures in the present, and will undoubtedly persist into the future…”
