Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and BJP national president Nitin Nabin have tendered their resignations from the Bihar Legislative Council and Assembly, respectively.
Nitish Kumar's resignation as MLC has sparked a leadership crisis in Bihar, with attention now turning to his successor.
The deadline for their resignation from the state legislature was March 30, as per the Prohibition of Simultaneous Membership Rules, 1950.
Nitish Kumar is expected to resign as Chief Minister ahead of taking oath in the Rajya Sabha, marking a significant shift in Bihar's political landscape after over two decades dominated by his leadership.
