Bihar floor test: The newly formed Nitish Kumar-led Mahagatbandhan government of Bihar today proved majority in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. The government already has the support of 165 MLAs, way over the minimum requirement. Bihar Assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Saxena resigned today after the Bihar government demanded his resignation as he lost the no-confidence motion moved by MLAs of the ruling Mahagathbandhan. Ahead of the commencement of the floor test in the Bihar assembly, CBI conducted searches at several leaders of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in connection with the alleged land-for-jobs scam that took place when Lalu Prasad was the railway minister. The search operation was carried out at the premises of several senior leaders of the RJD, including MLC Sunil Singh, Rajya Sabha MPs Ashfaq Karim and Faiyaz Ahmed, and former MLC Subodh Rai, officials said.
