Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, recently elected to the Rajya Sabha, is anticipated to resign from the state legislative council soon, indicated a close associate, Sanjay Kumar Jha.
Jha, who is also the national working president of Janata Dal (United), referenced constitutional mandates that necessitate resignation within 14 days of a parliamentary election.
There is speculation that a transition of power in Bihar might be delayed, as provisions exist allowing Kumar to retain chief ministership for up to six months without holding a legislative seat.
