Easy win for Nitish as 3 RJD MLAs, missing’ JD(U) MLAs back him
Financial Express Mumbai|February 13, 2024
THREE RJD MLAS crossed over to the NDA while five absent JD(U) MLAs turned up with just a few minutes to go for voting, helping Chief Minister Nitish Kumar win the trust vote easily on Monday with 129 votes in its favour. There was no vote against, as the Opposition walked out before the voting.
Easy win for Nitish as 3 RJD MLAs, missing’ JD(U) MLAs back him

The NDA's tally stood at 130, if the Deputy Speaker's vote was included. In the House of 243, simple majority is 122. Before the vote, the NDA claimed it had 128 MLAs with it, and the Mahagathbandhan cited the support of 114.

In a speech that sought to make up for the lack of numbers, Tejashwi Yadav led the attack from the Opposition side.

He said the fact that the ruling alliance had to make three RJD MLAs "cross over" to the NDA to prove its majority was a "moral victory" for the party.
