He may align with the opposition INDIA bloc.

Bihar BJP MLA Mishri Lal Yadav has announced his resignation from the party, citing concerns over the lack of representation for Dalits and other marginalized communities within the organization.

Yadav, who serves the Alinagar constituency in Darbhanga district, revealed during a press conference his intention to submit his resignation to the BJP's state unit president, Dilip Jaiswal.

The BJP has yet to respond, but sources suggest Yadav's decision was influenced by speculations that his re-election bid might be overridden in favor of singer Maithili Thakur. Despite not disclosing his next moves, Yadav is reportedly in talks with the opposition INDIA bloc.
