Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Nitin Nabin has resigned from his position as a member of the Bihar legislative council after being elected to the Rajya Sabha on March 16.
Under the ‘Prohibition of Simultaneous Membership Rules, 1950’, a person elected to both Parliament and a state legislature must vacate their seat in the state legislature within 14 days of election to the Rajya Sabha.
Nabin announced his resignation on social media, addressing his constituents from Bankipur in Bihar, as he reflected on his political journey.
He was first elected in a bypoll necessitated by the demise of his father, a legislator, and has since made continuous efforts to nurture, beautify and advance the constituency of his father.
Nabin has served as a five-term legislator and a minister in the state cabinet, and has used both platforms to raise the voice of his area and the people of Bihar.
In his message to his constituency, he said he would use his new role to remain committed to the development of the area and Bihar.
