Bihar CM resigns before trust vote |
Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Feb 20 resigned. He quit only hours ahead of the trust vote.Manjhi`s sudden decision apparently follows his realization that he does not have the numbers to prove the majority. Manjhi, who rebelled against Nitish Kumar, was expelled by JD (U) and was to prove his majority after the Governor`s address. A day earlier, the BJP announced support to Manjhi but he still did not have the numbers to win the trust vote after JD (U) and its allies like RJD and Congress rallied behind Nitish Kumar.New JD(U) Legislature party leader Nitish Kumar said Manjhi`s resignation has vindicated his plea to the Governor that not much time be given for the trust vote.
