Nitish Kumar said this

The outgoing Chief Minister of Bihar and President of the Janata Dal-United, Nitish Kumar, announced, "I have officially tendered my resignation as Chief Minister today and have conveyed to the Governor to dissolve the state government. This decision arose due to certain concerns as not everything was functioning smoothly. I sought input from various quarters, considered all perspectives, and today, the government stands dissolved."

"I will leave the earlier alliance and form a new alliance," the longest serving chief minister of Bihar said. 

BJP MP Giriraj Singh said that I thank Nitish Kumar ji. In one and a half years, Bihar had been facing situation like Jungle Raj Part 2. If Lalu ji had get crowned, it would have been a big problem. To prevent return of Jungle Raj, we made Nitish ji the Chief Minister. BJP will not allow Lalu to be crowned nor will it allow Jungle Raj in Bihar.
