Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar late on Sunday night recommended to the Governor the removal of Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahani from his Cabinet. Mr. Sahani is the Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Minister in National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Mr. Kumar in Bihar.
The CM is said to have made the recommendation after receiving a written complaint from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a partner in the ruling alliance. Mr. Sahani might be removed from the Cabinet any time.
Recently, all three VIP MLAs joined the BJP after Mr. Sahani raised a banner of revolt against that party. Mr. Sahani, though, has said that he would not bow down to the BJP even after all his party MLAs joined it. “ Jhukega nahi (I’ll not bow down),” Mr. Sahani had said.
