Patna Bihar minister Karthik Kumar Singh, surrounded by warrant controversy, has resigned from the post. Karthik was the first law minister. Seeing the ruckus related to him not stopping, CM Nitish Kumar removed Karthik from the law department and made sugarcane industries minister. Only after this, on Wednesday, Karthik resigned from the post of minister. After leaving the post of Karthik, BJP MP and former Deputy CM of Bihar Sushil Kumar Modi has taken a jibe at Nitish Kumar saying that the first wicket has just fallen. Sushil Modi also taunted with this.
After leaving the post of Karthik Kumar Singh, Nitish has now given the responsibility of sugarcane industries department to Alok Kumar Mehta, who is looking after the revenue and land reforms department. Nitish had included Karthik in his cabinet, but he is accused of being involved in a kidnapping case in 2014. Karthik was administered the oath of office on 16 August. He was made minister from RJD quota. The BJP had loudly demanded the removal of Karthik from the cabinet due to the serious allegations against him. With Karthik taking oath, the matter of allegations against him had sprung up. Even the warrant issued by the court had gone viral on social media. When asked about this on August 17, a day after the swearing-in, Nitish Kumar had said that he was not aware of the matter. At the same time, Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav said on August 18 that after the warrant, the court has given interim protection against arrest to Karthik Singh. He has not yet been convicted by the court. At the same time, Tejashwi’s father Lalu Yadav had called the matter wrong.
