NEW DELHI,JAN 29 : As Nitish Kumar switched sides and became the Chief Minister of the NDA alliance, several leaders from the BJP-led fold have given a no-confidence motion notice to the assembly secretary to remove Assembly Speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary, an RJD leader.

BJP leaders Nand Kishore Yadav and Tarkishore Prasad (former Deputy Chief Minister); HAM chief and former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi; JD(U)’s Vinay Kumar Choudhary, Ratnesh Sada, and other MLAs from the NDA alliance gave the notice, seeking the removal of Awadh Bihari Choudhary.

Ending days of uncertainty, Nitish Kumar on Sunday severed ties with the RJD and the Congress, the constituents of the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government, and took oath as the Chief Minister of the NDA alliance for the record ninth time.

The JD(U) supremo joined the Mahagathbandhan in August 2022, when he had snapped ties with the BJP, accusing it of trying to “split” his party.

With this development, the NDA in Bihar has 128 MLAs, six more than the majority mark. The Mahagathbandhan (RJD, Congress and Left parties), on the other hand, has 114 MLAs.

In the 243-seat Bihar assembly, the RJD is the single largest party with 79 MLAs, followed by BJP 78, JD(U) 45 and Congress 19.

The Left parties have 16 MLAs while the HAM and AIMIM have four and one, respectively. There is also one independent MLA in the House.
