The National Democratic Alliance government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar proved its majority in the Bihar Assembly. The ‘Khela’ which was talked about in the entire country for 14 days has actually turned into a complete disaster. Avadh Bihari Chaudhary, who became the Assembly Speaker from RJD quota, had to lose the chair. The no-confidence motion against him was brought by BJP MLA Nand Kishore Yadav. 125 votes were cast against him while only 112 votes were cast in his support. After this, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar brought the confidence motion. During his address, Tejashwi Yadav fiercely attacked Nitish Kumar and BJP. After this, when CM Nitish Kumar stood up to deliver his address, the RJD MLAs started creating ruckus. Nitish Kumar angrily said to get the voting done. Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav walked out along with RJD MLAs.
Nitish government passed floor test with 130 votes
Ruling party MLAs including CM Nitish Kumar started demanding voting. After this voting was conducted. 129 votes were cast in favor of Nitish government. Then CM Nitish Kumar said that one vote of the Vice President should also be added. In this way Nitish government passed the floor test with 130 votes. Not a single vote was cast in opposition.
Our MLAs were intimidated and attempts were made to buy them.
After this, CM Nitish Kumar made a big allegation and said that our MLAs were intimidated. An attempt was also made to buy them. Nitish Kumar did not stop here. He further said that Nitish Kumar said that you people remember how much development has taken place in Bihar since 2005 when I started working. Before passing out in 2005, what would have happened in Bihar if his (Tejashwi Yadav) father and mother got a chance to work for 15 years. No one came out of the house in the evening. There was no road at some places and no path at some places. These people talk that there are so many Muslims. So you people know how much Hindu-Muslim conflict used to happen earlier. When we came in 2005, we stopped the Hindu-Muslim conflict. Looking at Tejashwi angrily, he said that first know the history and then talk.
