President Ram Nath Kovind accepts Upendra Kushwaha'S resignation

New Delhi, Dec 11 President Ram Nath Kovind Tuesday accepted RLSP president Upendra Kushwaha's resignation from the Union council of ministers.

In a press communique, the Rashtrapati Bhavan said the President, as prompted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has acknowledged the renunciation of Kushwaha from the Union council of Ministers with immediate effect.

Kushwaha on Monday had severed his ties with the BJP and offered his abdication blaming the Prime Minister for diminishing the bureau to a "rubber stamp", "betraying" in reverse classes and giving Bihar just "jumlas".

Making the announcement a day ahead of Parliament's Winter Session, the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) pioneer from Bihar said he is available to joining the resistance partnership, which incorporates Lalu Prasad's RJD and the Congress.

He also claimed the BJP-drove National Democratic Alliance would not have the capacity to win a single seat in the state.
