In a significant political development, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar triumphed in the Assembly floor test, securing 129 votes in favor of his government. The victory comes amidst the backdrop of Kumar’s recent alliance shift, marking a decisive turn in Bihar’s political landscape.
Nitish Kumar’s government clinched victory in the trust vote, garnering 129 votes in support, while the opposition, led by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), staged a walkout during the voting process. With a total of 243 MLAs in the Bihar assembly, Kumar’s administration emerged victorious, cementing its position at the helm.
The trust vote follows Nitish Kumar’s strategic maneuver, wherein he departed from the Mahagathbandhan coalition and forged a new alliance with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Kumar’s decision to switch sides underscored a realignment of political alliances and aspirations in Bihar.
In his address to the Assembly, Nitish Kumar launched a scathing critique against the previous Lalu Yadav-led governments, alleging a lack of developmental initiatives during their tenure. He accused the RJD of attempting to claim credit for projects initiated under his leadership.
Nitish Kumar’s victory in the floor test not only solidifies his position as Bihar’s Chief Minister but also marks a significant shift in the state’s political dynamics. His decision to join forces with the NDA underscores a strategic move aimed at advancing Bihar’s development agenda.
With the successful outcome of the trust vote, Nitish Kumar’s political trajectory has been clarified, putting an end to speculation surrounding his future and the fate of the Mahagathbandhan coalition. His assertive leadership and coalition realignment have reshaped Bihar’s political landscape, setting the stage for a new era of governance.
