Janata Dal-United leader Nitish Kumar on Tuesday said that all party MPs and MLAs are in consensus that they should leave the BJP-led NDA alliance.

After submitting his resignation to the Bihar governor, Kumar spoke to media-persons and said, "All MPs and MLAs reached a consensus that we should leave the NDA. Soon after, I resigned as Bihar CM."

"All the meetings with the MPs, MLAs and MLCs of both the houses were held today. Everyone's wish was that we should leave NDA. So as everyone wished, we accepted the same and submitted the resignation from the post of the chief minister in the NDA government," he added.

After tendering his resignation, Nitish Kumar left Raj Bhavan and arrived at the residence of RJD leader Rabri Devi in Patna to meet her Tejashwi Yadav.

Earlier on Tuesday, Kumar resigned, breaking his alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
