Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday welcomed the resignation of Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, saying the latter has ruined his future by getting involved with the BJP.

"He should have resigned earlier. He has ruined his future by getting involved with the BJP," Yadav said.

Earlier in the day, 70-year-old Manjhi resigned from the post of Chief Minister. He submitted his resignation ahead of the crucial trust vote.

Manjhi had earlier met Bihar Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi at the Governor's House here.

Manjhi was locked in a showdown with senior JD-U leader Nitish Kumar, who had handpicked him to take his place last year.

With Manjhi's resignation, the trust vote will not be required.
