On January 28, Nitish Kumar took oath as the chief minister of Bihar for a record ninth time after a dramatic volte-face, ditching the 'Mahagathbandhan' and the opposition bloc INDIA and forming a new government with the BJP, which he had dumped less than 18 months ago.
The newly formed NDA government will seek the trust vote on February 12, when the assembly's budget session commences. It has a majority with 128 members supporting the BJP-JD(U) combine.
The magic figure for the majority is 122 in the 243-member Bihar assembly.
After the exit of JD(U), the strength of the 'Mahagathbandhan' has been reduced to 114. The RJD and the Congress are part of the opposition alliance. One member of AIMIM is not supporting the alliance.
