Experts viewed Sudhakar Singh as one who often embarrassed Bihar CM Nitish Kumar with his blatant and outspoken approach.
Sudhakar Singh tendered his resignation to the Bihar government as state agricultural minister on Sunday. Confirming the decision, his father, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Bihar president, Jagdanand Singh, said, "My son wanted to fight for the rights of farmers, but he was facing a lot of issues doing that, so he called it quits."
"Someone needs to stand up for the farmers and the injustice being done to them. The agriculture minister took this up. Killing Mandi law ( Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee Act) has destroyed the farmers of the state," Singh said while adding that farmers represented the country.
