Patna, Mar 30 (PTI) BJP national president Nitin Nabin resigned as a member of the Bihar Assembly on Monday, two weeks after he was elected to the Rajya Sabha.

Talking to reporters, Kumar said, “Nitin Nabin’s resignation was submitted to me by Saraogi. It has been accepted. I have forwarded it to the officials concerned for further formalities.” Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also resigned from the state legislative council on Monday.

In a post on X earlier on Monday, Nabin said, “Today, I am resigning from the post of elected member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly from the Bankipur constituency.” “Over the past 20 years, I have continuously strived to nurture and develop this constituency, built by my late father, Naveen Kishore Prasad Sinha, with dedication. I have always worked with complete commitment towards the development of my constituency and the state of Bihar.
“As a result, the people blessed me with the privilege of serving them by electing me as their representative to the Assembly five consecutive times,” the BJP chief said.
Nabin said that he would remain committed to the development of the Bankipur constituency and Bihar in the “new role that the party has assigned to me”. PTI PKD NSD
