BJP national president Nitin Nabin resigned as a member of the Bihar Assembly on Monday (March 30, 2026), two weeks after he was elected to the Rajya Sabha.
His resignation from the Bankipur seat was submitted to Assembly Speaker Prem Kumar by state BJP chief Sanjay Saraogi.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Kumar said, “Nitin Nabin’s resignation was presented to me by Saraogi. It was accepted. I handed it over to the concerned officials for further formalities.” Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also resigned from his post in the State Legislative Council on Monday (March 30, 2026). Both Mr. Nabin and the JD(U) supremo were elected to the Upper House of Parliament on March 16.
In a post on X earlier on Monday (March 30, 2026), Mr Nabin said: “Today I am resigning as an elected member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly from the Bankipur constituency.”
“During the last 20 years, I have continuously tried to nurture and develop this constituency built by my late father Naveen Kishore Prasad Sinha with dedication. I have always worked with full dedication for the development of my constituency and the state of Bihar.”
“As a result, the people have blessed me with the privilege of serving them by electing me as their assembly representative for five consecutive times,” the BJP chief said.
Mr Nabin said he would remain committed to the development of the Bankipur constituency and Bihar in the “new role assigned to me by the party”.
