Bihar Government to Seek Trust Vote in Assembly on April 24

The newly formed Bihar government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary will seek a vote of confidence in a one-day special session of the 18th Legislative Assembly on April 24. This follows Nitish Kumar's resignation and Choudhary's swearing-in on April 15. Despite the leadership change, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) retains a strong majority with 202 seats in the 243-member House. The trust vote is a constitutional formality to confirm the new government's majority support.
