In a dramatic turn of events, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s NDA-led government emerged victorious in the trust vote held in the state assembly. Securing 129 votes, the coalition government proved its strength despite the opposition’s walkout.
Before the crucial floor test, tensions ran high as RJD MLAs Chetan Anand, Neelam Devi, and Prahlad Yadav were spotted sitting with the government, dealing a significant blow to the opposition. This move, coupled with the removal of Speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary from his position, set the stage for the NDA’s decisive win.
The victory was not without its share of controversy, as RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav raised objections to the seating arrangement of MLAs and alleged threats against party members. However, these claims did not sway the outcome as Nitish Kumar’s government sailed through the vote of confidence.
In the aftermath of the trust vote, Nitish Kumar highlighted the alleged corruption during the RJD’s rule and reiterated his commitment to upholding the rule of law. Meanwhile, RJD leaders expressed disappointment over the outcome but vowed to continue the fight against what they perceive as communal forces.
As the dust settles in Bihar, the NDA government stands firm, ready to tackle the challenges ahead. With the opposition sidelined, Nitish Kumar’s leadership faces scrutiny and expectations to deliver on its promises of progress and development.
