Neeraj Kumar said that if Tejashwi had the courage, he should ask for voting instead of letting the motion pass through a voice vote. However, the opposition did not request a formal vote during the Samrat Choudhary Floor Test, and the Speaker declared the trust motion passed by voice vote.

The JD(U) leader claimed that a vote division could expose divisions within the RJD. According to him, some RJD legislators might not support the party if a proper vote took place in the House.

Political observers linked the tension to earlier cross-voting during recent parliamentary elections, where several opposition legislators reportedly did not follow the party line.

The NDA currently holds a strong majority in the 243-member Bihar Assembly, while the opposition continues to question the government’s political strategy.

The Nitish JDU Dy CM debate now focuses on Nishant Kumar, the son of Nitish Kumar. Many party leaders want him to take the position. However, Nishant does not want to join the government right now. He prefers to become an MLA or MLC first and then enter active politics.

If Nishant accepts the role, JD(U) may keep only one deputy chief minister. If he refuses, the party may choose two leaders for the post. Senior leaders Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, and Shravan Kumar are strong contenders.

JD(U) leaders continue internal discussions. The party may announce its decision soon as the new NDA government forms in Bihar.

The situation took a sharper turn after RLM MLA Rameshwar Mahato shared a pointed Facebook post. Though he named no one, his message spoke about leadership intentions drifting away from public interest. The post quickly went viral and sparked intense political debate. Many party insiders believe the remarks target Kushwaha’s leadership style.

Mahato represents Bajpatti in Sitamarhi district and is among the four RLMO MLAs elected in the recent Bihar Assembly polls. The party contested six seats within the NDA and won four, including one won by Kushwaha’s wife, Snehlata.

The unrest began when Kushwaha bypassed sitting MLAs and secured a ministerial post for his son, who is not a legislator. This move triggered resignations by senior leaders, including the party’s national vice president.

With MLAs openly unhappy, the RLM split threat now looms large over Bihar’s political landscape.
