Days after Nitish Kumar's exit from the Mahagathbandhan and return to the NDA fold, his government in Bihar is set to face its first big test during the trust vote on Monday. The JD(U) has 45 MLAs in the House of 243, while its partners, the BJP and the HindustAwam Morcha-Secular (HAM-S), have 79 and 4 sitting legislators, respectively. With the support of another independent MLA, the NDA has 128 MLAs in the House, against 115 of the Mahagathbandhan.
