Bihar Assembly Speaker

Ahead of the Bihar Government floor test, BJP Assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha submitted his resignation from the post. The resignation came on August 24, following the constant demands of resignation by the Bihar MLAs, who also moved a no-confidence motion against Sinha. Notably, earlier BJP's Sinha refused to step down as the Bihar Assembly speaker, after the exit of Janata Dal-United from the BJP and NDA alliance.
