Bihar: Nitish Kumar wins floor test, RJD walks out

New Delhi: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday won the floor test in the state assembly amid a walkout by the RJD-led opposition.

Kumar, who heads the JD(U), moved the motion soon after the House passed a proposal for the removal of RJD’s Awadh Bihari Chaudhary as Speaker of the assembly.

Kumar had dumped the RJD-Congress combine, supported by the Left, a fortnight ago and returned to the BJP-led NDA.
