"Nitish Kumar's Government Secures Easy Win in Bihar Trust Vote Amid Tejashwi Yadav's Jibes"

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's government easily won a trust vote with 129 votes in its favor, as three RJD MLAs crossed over to the NDA and five absent JD(U) MLAs turned up just before the voting. The NDA's tally stood at 130, securing a simple majority in the House of 243. Tejashwi Yadav led the attack from the Opposition side, claiming a "moral victory" for the RJD.

"Bihar's Political Drama: JD(U) Issues Whip, RJD Moves MLAs to Tejashwi's Residence Ahead of Trust Vote"

Ahead of the February 12 floor test of the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar, the JD(U) issued a whip to its legislators to be present in the assembly during the vote, while the opposition RJD moved all its MLAs and MLCs to Tejashwi Yadav’s residence in Patna. The NDA government, with a wafer-thin majority, has the support of 128 legislators, while the opposition Mahagathbandhan has the support of 115 MLAs. The RJD's move to shift its legislators was to prevent "horse-trading" attempts by the ruling alliance, while the BJP accused the RJD of keeping its leaders under "house arrest" and expressed confidence in the NDA's position.

"Nitish Kumar's Alliance with BJP: Impact on India's Political Landscape"

Nitish Kumar's decision to ally with the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections could benefit his party, JD(U), as historical data shows that the party gains from its association with the BJP in national elections. Despite facing criticism for leaving the opposition bloc and returning to the NDA fold, Nitish Kumar aims to leverage the BJP's Hindutva agenda and Prime Minister Modi's popularity to improve his party's performance in the upcoming elections, recognizing the significant impact the Lok Sabha polls will have on the alliance arithmetic in the subsequent assembly elections.

"Nitish Kumar's Political Reversal Sparks Bihar Crisis"

Union Minister Giriraj Singh stated that the BJP's doors are always 'closed' for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who is speculated to break away from the Mahagathbandhan and reunite with the BJP, while senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi indicated a possible revival of ties with the JD(U). Meanwhile, Union Food Processing Industries Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras asked people to wait for 1-2 days, hinting at a significant development in state politics, as several NDA leaders have indicated an alliance breakdown between JD(U)-RJD. If Nitish Kumar crosses over, it would deal a severe blow to the ruling Mahagathbandhan in Bihar and the national opposition bloc formed to take on the BJP-led center.
