Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today moved a confidence motion in the Bihar Assembly to prove the majority of his new government and won the floor test with 131 votes. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, the son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, spoke first on the confidence motion and launched a scathing attack against Kumar for dumping the Grand Alliance government.

RJD MLAs protested in the portico of Assembly, signalling their aggressive mood ahead of the trust vote. Live telecast of House proceedings is prohibited and reporters not allowed to use their mobile phones inside. Governor Keshri Nath Tripathi had asked the chief minister yesterday to seek a confidence vote within two days of his swearing in. Kumar, 66, was sworn in yesterday, returning to the National Democratic Alliance after four years.
