Nitish Kumar resigned as Bihar chief minister on Saturday.
New Delhi:
A day after his party the Janata Dal (United) was routed in the general election, Nitish Kumar resigned as Bihar chief minister. The JD(U) won just two of Bihar's 40 Lok Sabha seats, while its former partner the BJP won 31 along with its allies.
The polls saw Mr Kumar's arch political rival Narendra Modi winning a decisive mandate to become Prime Minister.
