Kolkata: Bihar Governor Buta Singh should resign in view of the Supreme Court judgement against him, veteran Communist Party of India (CPI) Marxist (M) politburo member Jyoti Basu said here today (Jan 25,2006).

''In the light of the judgement, it will be appropriate for Buta Singh to step down from the post of Governor of Bihar'', the former Chief Minister of West Bengal told sources here.

He, however, did not comment when his reaction was sought on the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha L K Advani's demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh along with that of Buta Singh on the issue.

''My party has already called for Buta Singh's resignation'', he said.
