The no-confidence motion was passed before the floor test of Nitish Kumar government to prove its majority was held.

During the no-confidence motion, 125 members voted in favour of the resolution brought by the ruling alliance and 112 against.

RJD MLAs Chetan Anand, Neelam Devi and Prahlad Yadav were seen sitting on the treasury benches in the Bihar Assembly causing a jolt to the Opposition.

Reacting to this, former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav had said that MLAs should be seated to those ascribed to them until end of voting.

Ahead of the trust vote, parties had shifted MLAs to "secure locations" within and outside the state.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain, exuding confidence, said the government will prove its majority.

The trust vote has been necessitated as Nitish Kumar took oath as the chief minister of Bihar for the record ninth time last month after junking his alliance with the RJD and again forming a government with the BJP.
