Ahmedabad, 17 May, 2014

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has resigned from the post of Chief Minister of Bihar. Nitish Kumar who broke alliance with BJP objecting Narendra Modi’s projection as Prime Ministerial candidate of NDA suffered worst defeat of his party in just concluded Lok Sabha elections. As many as 38 candidates of Janata Dal United(JDU) including national president Sharad Yadav lost the election in Bihar. Though JDU is ruling party and Bihar specific political outfit, only 2 candidates could survive the Modi wave in Bihar. When he broke ties with BJP, Nitish wanted to emerge as a prime ministerial candidate. He wanted to emerge as a leader of not only Bihar, but all poor states in east India. He wanted to earn maximum number of Muslim votes by challenging Narendra Modi’s projection. However nothing materialized. Neither the third front of his idea kicked off, nor his projection as PM candidate. Muslims too didn’t vote for him. Keeping church funded foreign agenda executors as advisers, jealousy of Modi, negativity, lack of vision and self obsession resulted into not only his party’s worst defeat but his resignation too. Nitish is likely to address a press conference later today. Nitish Kumar has 113 MLAs in house of 243. His government crossed majority number 122 with the support of Congress (4) & Independent (6).

The real reason?

Sources: Bihar Government was likely to fall after several MLAs planned to resign enmass. Nitish Kumar decided to resign to save face.

Assam Chief Minister to resign

Following Congress party’s poor show in the the Lok Sabha elections in Assam, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today said he would send his resignation from the post of CM to Congress President Sonia Gandhi within a week. Gogoi, however said he will not leave politics and will continue to work for recovering the party from the current position. Gogoi accepted that he failed to judge the Modi wave and the under current . He said during Emergency also, there was a tsunami. Everyone thought Congress was finished. But Indira Gandhi along with Sanjay rebuilt the party. Gogoi said, “When you win three terms as Chief Minister, some amount of arrogance and complacency set in. This was of course the case with me as well as the party. We thought nobody could defeat us. We forgot that we had lost earlier.”
