Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Bharatiya Janata Party have to prove their majority in the Assembly on February 12.
CM himself and his party are confident about this. The biggest reason for this is numerical strength.
In Bihar, JDU has 45 MLAs and BJP has 78 MLAs. Including both the parties, the number becomes 123, which is one more than the majority.
At the same time, Nitish Kumar’s new government also has the support of four MLAs of Hindustan Awam Morcha led by Jitan Ram Manjhi and one independent MLA.
Overall he has the support of 128 MLAs. Despite this, RJD and Congress are afraid of horse trading.
Congress had shifted its MLAs to Hyderabad long ago. At the same time, now Tejashwi Yadav has also put all his MLAs under house arrest at their own residence. He sees the danger of disintegration looming over his party.
This is also being discussed in the political circles of Bihar. Political experts say that RJD and Congress are putting their MLAs under house arrest not because of the floor test but because of the Rajya Sabha elections.
They are afraid that they might cross-vote and help the fourth NDA candidate win in the second preference vote.
Keep an eye on these 2 musclemen
These days, everyone’s eyes are on two strongmen in Bihar politics. The first name is Anand Mohan, who has recently been released from jail.
For his release, Nitish Kumar’s government had amended the law. After coming out of jail, both the leaders have met each other on several occasions.
At the same time, Lalu Prasad Yadav has not yet given him an appointment. Let us tell you that Anand Mohan’s son Chetan Anand is the MLA of Lalu Yadav’s party RJD.
Recently the Supreme Court has asked the Central Government to file an affidavit on the release of Anand Mohan. In such a situation, there is a possibility that his son may make up his mind for NDA under pressure.
Everyone’s eyes are on the small government too
When the new government was formed in Bihar on January 28, there were huge fireworks at Anant Singh’s residence. Let us tell you that his wife was elected MLA in the by-election on the RJD symbol.
Anant Singh himself was earlier in JDU. Due to the increasing strength of JDU and Lalan Singh in Munger parliamentary constituency, he separated from JDU.
Later he had to go to jail. If he was proven guilty, he lost his legislative post. At the same time, Lalan Singh was considered an advocate of JDU-RJD friendship in Bihar.
When the friendship between the two parties ended, it was celebrated at Anant Singh’s residence. Now NDA has its eyes set on his wife’s vote also.
