Nitish Kumar Resigns As NDA CM In Bihar, Will Take Oath As Independent CM

After submitting his resignation as Bihar CM, Nitish Kumar, accompanied by RJD's Tejaswi Yadav marched to Governor Phagu Chauhan. At Governor's residence, Kumar, who has been declared JDU leader unanimously, staked claim to form his new government, hours after he broke JDU's alliance with NDA-BJP. Nitish Kumar is now likely to take oath as the Bihar CM without BJP's alliance, on August 10. Meanwhile, disturbed BJP called for a meeting.
