Does Nitish Kumar have enough support to win Bihar floor test? What numbers say
Live MintThe floor test of the new Bihar government is set to take place in the assembly on Monday, February 12. Let's take a look at what numbers in the state assembly currently show: Party How many MLAs it has in Bihar Assembly JDU 45 BJP 78 Rashtriya Janata Dal 79 HAM 4 Congress 19 CPI 12 CPI 2 CPI 2 AIMIM 1 Independent 1 Now, Nitish Kumar, who joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance last month, needs the support of at least 122 MLAs in the 243-member Bihar Assembly to remain the CM. With 128 MLAs in support, Nitish Kumar's government comfortably crosses the majority mark. So, if all these MLAs continue to support the Nitish Kumar's government, then the CM will comfortably win the trust vote. A JD leader said all the MLAs are in regular contact with the party and that he was confident that the Nitish Kumar-led coalition would sail past the majority mark during the floor test.
