The recent resignation of a state minister reflects Mr Yadav's impatience with those undermining his and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's authority.
Is Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav now the new top boss of the party? The recent resignation of his party colleague and state minister Sudhakar Singh reflects Mr Yadav's impatience with those undermining his and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's authority.
Bihar Agriculture Minister Sudhakar Singh, who has often publicly embarrassed the state government by making accusations of corruption in his department, yesterday resigned from his cabinet post without even a formal announcement. Tejashwi Yadav, who used to counsel him against putting his own government in the dock, finally lost patience with the defiant Mr Singh and made up his mind to drop him from the cabinet. He conveyed his decision to his father, RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav, who gave his nod and left it to Sudhakar Singh's father and state party President Jagada Nand Singh to communicate it to his son.
The Agriculture Ministry has now been given to Tourism Minister Kumar Sarvjeet. Tejashwi Yadav will hold the additional charge of the Tourism Ministry.
Jagada Nand Singh claimed his son resigned over 'injustice' to the farmers of the state.
