Patna, (Bihar Times): Within a week of Monazir Hassan’s resignation another vice president of the state Janata Dal (United), Ajit Kumar, quit from his post. However, very much like Monazir he is still in the party.

Though he did not elaborate the reason for his resignation yet he said that since he wants to work among the masses it is not possible to do so by holding such an important post.

It needs to be mentioned that a day after sacking eight Janata Dal United ministers from his cabinet on April 13 the chief minister, Nitish Kumar, accommodated all of them in party organization. They all were made state Vice Presidents. But first Monazir Hassan and now Ajit Kumar resigned. Monazir not only quit but a large number of his supporters even sat on dharna near Income Tax Roundabout in Patna on April 23 to protest against his dismissal. His supporters directly held the chief minister responsible for his sacking.

Meanwhile, deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, who is battling for his post within the BJP met the prime ministerial candidate of the NDA, Lal Krishna Advani, late on Friday afternoon to explain his position.
