Nitish Kumar sailed through with 126 votes in his favour after 91 Bharatiya Janata Party members and a Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) legislator walked out of the 243-member house. <img alt="Nitish Kumar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2010/nov/NITISH-KUMAR.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 446px;" /> Nitish Kumar Nitish Kumar got the support of his Janata Dal-United&#39;s (JD-U) 117 legislators, four independents, four of the Congress and the sole member of the Communist Party of India. One JD-U legislator is in jail. Those who voted against Nitish Kumar included 22 members of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and two independents. Soon after the JD-U ended its 17-year-old alliance with the BJP Sunday, Nitish Kumar said he would seek a vote of confidence at a special session of the assembly today. Nitish Kumar called off the alliance with the BJP and his colleague Sharad Yadav quit as convenor of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance following differences with the BJP over the growing clout of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Three days after he dumped long-time ally BJP, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today won a trust vote to prove his majority in the state assembly.
