Bihar Assembly

Bihar's new ruling coalition, Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), on Wednesday brought a no-confidence motion against Assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha who is a BJP MLA, a senior JD(U) leader said.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday said the BJP should have let its senior leader Sushil Kumar Modi occupy the top post after the 2020 Assembly polls instead of insisting that he run for another term in office.

A day after he tested positive for COVID-19, Bihar Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha said his test reports have come negative, amid a brewing political storm in the state, where he will play a key role in determining the legitimacy of any new formulation.

If the RJD, after its big meeting today, supports Nitish Kumar, a new formation with JDU, RJD, Congress, HAM, and CPIML will comfortably cross the majority mark with a total of 159 MLAs.

Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Speaker and DMK leader M Appavu's month-old statement attributing the development of the state to Christians and that Tamil Nadu would have been Bihar if Catholic Christians were not there has sparked a controversy.

Following the conviction of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Anant Singh in the AK-47 recovery case, the Bihar Assembly on Thursday issued a notification revoking his membership as a member of the state assembly.

Rashtriya Janata Dal's Tejashwi Yadav fumbled several times while reading a short speech in the Bihar Assembly yesterday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a function in Patnaorganised on the occasion of centenary celebrations of Bihar Assembly, and said "India is not just the largest but the mother of all democracies."

A number of senior JDU leaders said the absence of welcome ads from the government "may be a human error". The Bihar alliance has seen some disagreements between the partners over the past few months, a recent one being over the Agnipath scheme.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil the centenary memorial pillar of the Bihar Assembly building today to mark the conclusion of the one-year centennial celebration of the state legislature building.

A ceremonial pillar topped with an ornate bronze sculpture depicting the emblem of Bihar and erected in the state Assembly premises to mark the centenary of its iconic building is all set to be unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 12.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Patna next week to take part in a function that would be held as part of the centenary celebrations of the state assembly building.

To check the status of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's relationship with senior partner BJP, take a quick look at three incidents from the four-day assembly session last week.

Uproar over Agnipath by the opposition caused adjournment of the Bihar assembly within minutes of commencement of proceedings on the final day of the monsoon session on Thursday.

Unprecedented friction in the Nitish Kumar-led ruling alliance in Bihar has forced the Assembly Speaker to call off a discussion in the assembly on picking the "best legislator".
