LS polls: Jharkhand MLA resign after getting Trinamool ticket
Chandra Shekhar Dubey said he has resigned from the membership of the assembly as he is Trinamool candidate
Congress legislator from Dhanbad Chandra Shekhar Dubey Thursday resigned from the membership of the Jharkhand assembly after he got a ticket from the Trinamool Congress for the Lok Sabha polls.
"I have resigned from the membership of the assembly as I am a candidate of the Trinamool from Dhanbad. I have resigned on moral grounds," Dubey said.
Speaker Shashank Shekhar Bhokta said he has received Dubey's resignation and will accept it.
Asked about the majority in the assembly, he said: "The majority of the government is decided on the floor of the house. The speaker, chief minister or the opposition cannot decide whether a government is in majority or in minority."
