Madan Sahni, the Bihar Social Welfare Minister, said on Thursday that he wanted to quit as his own Principal Secretary didn't listen to him. He says he will hand in his resignation on Saturday.
Nothing moves in the Bihar government without money and officials don't listen to their own minister. The damning feedback comes not from the opposition but Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's own ministers and allies. Now a Bihar Minister's public rant against his own government has become hugely embarrassing for Nitish Kumar, especially since it comes from a leader of his party Janata Dal United (JDU), not any ally or the opposition. Madan Sahni, the Bihar Social Welfare Minister, said on Thursday that he wanted to quit as his own Principal Secretary didn't listen to him. He says he will hand in his resignation on Saturday. Mr Sahni said he was extremely upset over officers putting on hold transfers and postings he had approved as a minister.More Related News
