Political chaos is brewing in Bihar ahead of the floor test in the state assembly on February 12. The new NDA government is preparing to prove its majority. Both JDU and BJP claim that their MLAs are united. The NDA seems to be in a stable position. However, former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s party claims that 17 MLAs from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s party, Janata Dal United, are missing. Meanwhile, JDU also claims that they have no capacity to join anyone. BJP has instructed all its MLAs to stay in Patna. On the other hand, Congress’ 17 MLAs are still in Hyderabad.
Speaker Avadh Bihari Chaudhary, who is sitting on the chair of the Assembly Speaker despite refusing to resign, has caused a political storm. Avadh Bihari Chaudhary himself has revealed that he is preparing a game plan against the Nitish Kumar government ahead of the floor test. It is believed that RJD is making big preparations before the floor test. RJD can indulge in horse-trading.
There is speculation in the political corridors that one prominent JDU MLA has been preparing for the Lok Sabha elections for several months. He has openly declared his intention to contest the Lok Sabha elections multiple times. The same is true for BJP. Two BJP MLAs also want to contest the Lok Sabha elections. One of them has already staked his claim for a ticket against his own party’s MP. He argued that he has been an MLA for many years. Citing caste calculations, he presented his candidacy. On the other hand, the relationship between the second MLA and his own party’s MP and neighboring MLA is not good. Their dispute reached the police station. These honorable members also want to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Sources say that if these three MLAs get a ticket from a major party, they will resign. If this happens, there could be a major upheaval in Bihar.
बिहार विधानसभा में फ्लोर टेस्ट से पहले सियासी घमासान जारी है। नई एनडीए सरकार बहुमत साबित करने की तैयारी में जुट गई है और जदयू और भाजपा का दावा है कि उनके विधायक एकजुट हैं। पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री लालू प्रसाद यादव की पार्टी का दावा है कि मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार की पार्टी जनता दल यूनाईटेड के 17 विधायक लापता हैं। इसके साथ ही राजद और भाजपा के विधायकों को लोकसभा टिकट चाहिए और इसलिए वे लोकसभा चुनाव की तैयारी कर रहे हैं।
