Nitish Kumar and Nitin Nabin resigned from their legislative posts in Bihar on Monday. The development came after both leaders were elected to the Rajya Sabha earlier this month. The news that Nitish Kumar and Nitin Nabin resign has triggered major political discussion in the state.
Nitish Kumar stepped down from his position as a member of the Bihar Legislative Council (MLC). At the same time, Nitin Nabin resigned as the MLA from the Bankipur constituency in the state assembly. Both leaders took this step to comply with constitutional rules that do not allow a person to hold membership in two legislatures at the same time.
The move comes around two weeks after they won seats in the Rajya Sabha from Bihar. Their resignations mark a shift from state-level roles to national politics in the upper house of Parliament.
Meanwhile, the decision has intensified political discussions in Bihar about future leadership and the next phase of governance in the state.
