Patna

The Nitish Kumar-led Mahagatbandhan government on Wednesday comfortably won the trust vote in the special Assembly session, with 160 votes in its favour in the 243-member house.

The opposition BJP's 77 members staged a walk out.

Nitish Kumar, during the discussion on the motion, accused the BJP of just creating disputes in the society, and the Central government not doing anything apart from advertisements.

The vote was necessitated after Nitish resigned as Chief Minister following the JDU’s withdrawal from the alliance with BJP in the state.

JDU joined hands with the Rashtriya Janta Dal to form the government with the support of the Congress and Left parties.
