Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is expected to resign from the Mahagathbandhan government by Sunday morning, according to a source close to the CM. Before submitting his papers, Kumar will hold a customary legislature party meeting. Government offices are expected to remain open due to hectic activity.
The BJP has been keeping in touch with its Bihar allies, including Manjhi, Chirag Paswan, Upendra Kushwaha and Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras, amid evolving political developments in the state.
Speculations are rife that Kumar was unhappy with the Mahagathbandhan, which includes the Congress and the RJD with three Left parties supporting the government from outside.
