New Delhi, Jun 20 (PTI): Bihar Governor Ram Nath Kovind has resigned from the gubernatorial post.

The resignation follows his nomination as the ruling NDA's presidential candidate.

President Pranab Mukherjee has accepted the resignation of Kovind as the Governor of Bihar, a communique issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said on Tuesday.

West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi will discharge the functions of the Governor of Bihar, in addition to his own duties, it said.

The BJP on Monday announced the name of 71-year-old Kovind, a low-profile Dalit leader and a two-term BJP Rajya Sabha member, as its nominee for the president's post.

The presidential election will be held on July 17. President Pranab Mukherjee completes his five-year term on July 24.

    Any one from RSS background is not good for country like India
    even if he is a dalit. He is a good choice for Modi to fulfill his agenda.

    Let anybody deserving become President and Prime Minister,
    What matters to the common man and civil society is that, law and justice should prevail, live and let live policy should be firmly established.
    Inflation should be under control, all the citizens should be treated fairly and livelihood shouldn't be in out of reach. Environment should be such that civil society should survive and grow. It's a real nation building process.
