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."
