LIVE Blog

Bihar Floor Test Live Updates: The Bihar Assembly witnessed a floor test today on Monday, where the government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar showed its majority with 129 votes. Kumar, who became the Bihar CM for the ninth time last month, broke away from the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) and the ‘INDIA’ bloc and joined hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form a new government.

The vote of confidence took place amid a walk out staged by the Opposition as cross voting happened when three Rashtriya Janata Dal MLAs also voted in support of Nitish Kumar.

The Deputy Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly Maheshwar Hazari asked the members of the House who were in favour of the motion to stand at their places.

"(A total of) 129 votes have been received in favour of the motion. There were zero votes against the motion. Thus, this House passes the trust vote," the Speaker said on Monday.

Three Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLAs -Chetan Anand, Neelam Devi, and Prahlad Yadav went and joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the State Assembly. On three RJD MLAs moving to the NDA side, RJD leader Bhai Virendra said that the public will not make them MLAs again.
