JD(U) MP from Bhagalpur, Ajay Kumar Mandal, resigned from his position as Member of Parliament ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections. Mandal stepped down, alleging that he was not consulted in the distribution of the election ticket for the upcoming polls.
In a post on X, he wrote: “Honourable Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar ji, please grant permission to resign from the post of Member of Parliament. Despite being a local MP, my advice was not sought in any way regarding ticket allocation. Therefore, there is no justification for me to continue in the post of MP.
आदरणीय मुख्यमंत्री श्री @NitishKumar जी, सांसद पद से त्यागपत्र देने हेतु अनुमति प्रदान कीजिए।
स्थानीय सांसद होने के बावजूद टिकट देने में मेरी किसी भी प्रकार की सलाह नहीं ली गई है। इसलिए मेरा सांसद पद पर बने रहने का कोई औचित्य नहीं रह जाता है।@ZeeNews @ZeeNewsBihar @aajtak pic.twitter.com/STEjQOYsfr
