New Delhi(July 27, 2017): : Fewer than 24 hours after resigning from the post, Nitish Kumar once again became chief minister of Bihar after he was sworn in on Thursday morning to form a government in the state.
Even as the ceremony was on, RJD workers in Patna set up blockades and protested Nitish forming the government with the BJP.
In addition, Tejashwi was the cause celebre cited by Nitish as the reason for his resigning as Bihar chief minister on Wednesday evening, hours after Lalu Prasad insisted his son wouldn’t resign after being named in a CBI corruption case.
Soon after Nitish’s resignation was accepted by Bihar governor Keshri Nath Tripathi, Sushil Modi submitted a letter to Tripathi pledging the support of 132 MLAs for Nitish to form the next government.
Tripathi then set the time for Thursday’s swearing-in ceremony and said Nitish has to prove his majority in the state Assembly within two days of being sworn in.
