Nitish Kumar's Master stroke

In a master stroke, JD(U) Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar resigned on moral grounds without asking for dissolution of Bihar Vidhan Sabha.

Now all eyes are on BJP poaching JD(U) MLAs to form the next government thus any poaching by BJP is sure to earn it bad reputation.
Meanwhile JD(U) Chief Sharad Yadav tries to forge alliance with RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to again form JD(U) government.

BJP has tried to counter Nitish's move by calling his resignation as 'emotionally black mailing the rebellious MLAs'.

Dear BJP and JD(U),
We understand!

Foot Note:
The move has element of strategy of using media attention just like AAP (28 seats) ,chief convenor, Arvind Kejriwal's declared no interest to form the government with assertion that BJP would poach MLAs to form the goverment in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha.

This focussed media attention on BJP (31 seats) which needed only 5 MLAs to reach the majority mark in 70 member assembly. As a result of media attention BJP could not garner the required support by poaching MLAs.
