Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's NDA government secured victory in the Bihar trust vote with 129 MLAs backing the alliance, including three from the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Despite RJD's objections, the new government received overwhelming support amidst a walkout by opposition members. Nitish Kumar, who recently assumed the JD(U) chief position, vowed to probe alleged corruption during RJD's tenure. In a fiery speech, he criticized the previous administration's governance. Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav slammed Nitish Kumar, pledging to thwart Prime Minister Narendra Modi's influence in Bihar. The political saga unfolded as the 'Mahagathbandhan' coalition faced setbacks, with Speaker Awadh Bihari Chaudhary's removal and RJD defections to the NDA.
