The resignation of Upendra Kushwaha from the NDA government comes in the wake of the continuing deadlock over seat sharing between his RLSP and the BJP.
The polls had received huge importance after the BJP leaders had accused poll strategist and JD(U) national Vice-President Prashant Kishor of interfering in the elections.
The JD(U) was quick to remind the RJD that it was Nitish Kumar’s face which helped them increase their tally from 22 to 80 in the 2015 assembly elections
