Bihar CM Nitish Kumar moves one-line Trust Motion

June 19, 2013 11:13

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar moves one-line Trust Motion in the Bihar Assembly. Nitish, in his capacity as the Leader of the House, moved the motion seeking a vote of confidence which would be put to vote, if need be, after a discussion.

Going by numbers, there is no threat to the Nitish government even without the support of BJP, its erstwhile ally of 17 years, since it has the required strength.

In the 243-member House, JD(U) has 118 members, including Speaker, BJP 91, RJD 22, Congress 4, LJP and CPI one each and Independents 6.

JD(U) needs support of four more MLAs to reach the magic figure of 122. It has already got support of four Independents who had attended a JD(U) meeting yesterday where party president Sharad Yadav was also present.

Details awaited.
