Nitish Kumar resigns after dismal show in lok sabha polls

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has resigned after his party faced humiliating defeat in lok sabha polls.


Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United won just two of Bihar's 40 seats. He is expected to address the media shortly.



According to sources, he has also recommended the dissolution of the state assembly.

His resignation may precipitate snap polls in the state that is due for assembly elections in November next year.

Mr Kumar's government was in a minority in the Bihar assembly which has outside support of Congress.

Even JDU's national president Sharad Yadav lost the election in Madhepura against RJD's Pappu Yadav
