Addressing the media after submitting his resignation to Governor DY Patil, Nitish Kumar said he respects the people's verdict and takes full responsibility for defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
Following a humiliating defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday tendered his resignation on moral grounds, accepting full responsibility of the debacle.
Janata Dal (U), which snapped ties with BJP after the party announced Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate, was reduced to only two seats after the final tally came in.
JDU MLA from Barh Gyanendra Singh Gyanu, who had questioned Nitish Kumar's decision to break the 17-year-old alliance with the BJP in June 2013, said several party leaders and workers were angry with the CM for breaking away from the BJP. He said JDU MLAs would have won all 40 seats in Bihar had the party not split with BJP.
Party leader KC Tyagi said they will seek a fresh mandate. The JDU Legislative Party Meet has been called at 4 pm tomorrow.
Addressing the media after submitting his resignation to Governor DY Patil, Nitish Kumar said he respects the people's verdict and takes full responsibility for defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
He said he expects the new government to be able to fulfil the promises and the dreams that it has given to the youth of the country, like that of a job creation. "I sincerely hope that the people of the country do see achche din (good days), as they have been told."
Kumar said he will continue to work for the party and the people, adding that he chose to resign despite having a majority in the assembly. "I have not asked to dissolve the Bihar Legislative Assembly," he said.
Kumar said any coalition is welcome to form the government in Bihar.
He said the election result in the state shows an unprecedented level of communal polarization.
On his decision of split from BJP, Kumar said the move was a well thought one. He said the reason for snapping the ties were ideological differences. "I chose development over communalism while breaking ties with BJP."
