Patna Bihar’s Agriculture Minister Sudhakar Singh has resigned from his post. His father and Rashtriya Janata Dal’s Bihar unit president Jagdanand Singh gave this information on Sunday.
The newly formed Mahagathbandhan government of the state had to face a lot of trouble due to the recent admission of Sudharak Singh of corruption in his department. Jagdanand Singh said that the Agriculture Minister was ‘raising his voice in favor of the farmers’, but in the end he decided to resign, so that ‘the fight would not go ahead’.
It is noteworthy that Sudhakar Singh had recently said that while referring to the corruption prevailing in his department, we do not think that the seeds received from Bihar State Seed Corporation are planted by the farmers in their fields. 150-200 crore rupees are eaten here only by the seed corporation. There is no part in our department that does not steal. In this way we became the chief of thieves. We would not be called Sardars. When theft is taking place, we have become its chiefs, haven’t we? However, Sudharak Singh was not immediately available to comment on the news of his resignation.
