The JD(U) chief resigned this time citing irreconcilable differences with ally RJD on charges of corruption against the deputy chief minister, Tejashwi Yadav, the son of Lalu Prasad Yadav.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stopped the printing of Rs 2,000 notes about five months ago and is pushing to print notes of other denominations, including the new Rs 200 notes. Nearly 370 crore notes of Rs 2,000 — worth Rs 7.4 lakh crore — have been printed so far, replacing the 630 crore notes of Rs 1,000 that were rendered illegal last year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement on demonetisation of currency on November 8, according to a Mint report. It is also being reported that 90 percent of most of the printing that is being done now is of Rs 500 notes. As many as 1,400 crore pieces of Rs 500 notes have been printed so far. After November 8, Rs 500 notes amounting to Rs 7.85 lakh crore have been in circulation, said the report.
