Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also resigned from the State Legislative Council on Monday (March 30, 2026). The JD(U) supremo was elected to the upper House of Parliament on March 16.
In a post on X on Monday (March 30, 2026), Mr. Nabin said, “Today, I am resigning from the post of elected member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly from the Bankipur constituency.” “Over the past 20 years, I have continuously strived to nurture and develop this constituency, built by my late father, Naveen Kishore Prasad Sinha, with dedication. I have always worked with complete commitment towards the development of my constituency and the state of Bihar.
“As a result, the people blessed me with the privilege of serving them by electing me as their representative to the Assembly five consecutive times,” the BJP chief said.
Mr. Nabin said that he would remain ever committed to the development of the Bankipur constituency and Bihar in the “new role that the party has assigned to me”.
“The unbreakable bond I share with my workers and the people of Bihar will always remain strong, and it will continue to give me new energy, inspiration, and guidance,” he added.
