In the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav holds forth:

He says CM Nitish Kumar never discussed my resignation with him. "If he had, I would have thought about it. I was taking legal opinion and I told him that. I am 22-years-old but I am never afraid. Nitish Kumar is still my uncle, but he betrayed me. If Nitish had asked me to resign, I would have thought of it: ," Tejashwi said.


"Sushil Modi is also facing cases. So why did he take oath (as deputy chief minister). Why was the timing of the oath-taking ceremony changed? How did Narendra Modi tweet so quickly on Nitish Kumars resignation?"


Prime Minister Narendra Modi had welcomed the Bihar Chief Minister's decision to resign from the post, congratulating Nitish on joining the battle against corruption. "125 crore people are welcoming and supporting your decision," the Prime Minister said on Wednesday moments after Nitish announced his resignation.

In another tweet, PM Modi wrote: "For the bright future of India, and particularly Bihar, it is imperative that one goes beyond political differences and fights corruption."
