Suman is currently the national president of HAM which was founded by his father Jitan Ram Manjhi, a former chief minister.
It was not immediately known whether the resignation was accepted.
Sources in 'Mahagathbandhan', the ruling alliance in the state, however, said that even if HAM, a four MLA-strong party, pulls out of the coalition, it would not have a bearing on the survival of the government.
