The National Democratic Alliance in Bihar today suffered a jolt as a Lok Janshakti Party MP resigned from the party post of general secretary and two BJP MLAs, who were denied ticket met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Vaishali Lok Sabha member Ramakishore Singh tendered his resignation as national general secretary of LJP as well chief whip of its parliamentary party, Singh said in a press statement. He also quit as party in-charge of Rajasthan, the statement said.

The LJP MP, who has been a long time associate of LJP chief and Union Minister Ramvilas Paswan, quit allegedly on being sidelined from decision making process of the party in the seat-sharing in the NDA.

The LJP got 40 seats in the coalition and this has left even senior party leaders miffed. Recently, Chirag Paswan, son of party chief and its Parliamentary Board head, had commented that Singh would be mollified. But, things did not improve and he quit party posts.

Singh had defeated RJD leader and former union minister Raghubansh Prasad Singh at Vaishali in the last general election. Meanwhile, peeved over denial of ticket, two BJP MLAs -- Aman Kumar and Ajay Mandal -- met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar this afternoon amid indication that they would join the grand secular alliance in the elections.
