The JD(U) Legislature party today decided to take the final call on choosing a new leader tomorrow in the wake of the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
JD(U) MLAs unanimously chose Nitish Kumar as their leader and insisted that he withdraw his resignation, but an emotional Kumar refused.
When MLAs persisted asking him to continue as CM and even threatened to sit on dharna at his residence, Kumar sought time till tomorrow to convey his decision, party spokesman Sanjay Singh told reporters.
Accordingly, JD(U) Legislature party meeting has been called again tomorrow, Singh said.
