New Delhi, April 24

The National Democratic Alliance government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary will seek a vote of confidence in a special session of the Bihar Assembly on Friday.

An official notification regarding the session was issued by Assembly Principal Secretary Poonam Sinha.

Ahead of the session, Speaker Prem Kumar chaired an all-party meeting earlier, urging leaders to ensure smooth functioning of the House.

Representatives from various political parties assured full cooperation.

Among those present at the meeting were Deputy Chief Ministers Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Deputy Speaker Narendra Narayan Yadav, and several MLAs, including Vijay Kumar Sinha, Vinod Narayan Jha, Alok Kumar Mehta, Manohar Prasad Singh, Madhav Anand, Raju Tiwari, Indrajit Prasad Gupta, Satish Kumar Singh Yadav, Kumar Sarvajeet, and Prafulla Manjhi.

Speaking on the upcoming session, Deputy Chief Minister and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary said the House will deliberate and vote on the confidence motion to be moved by the new Bihar government.

He assured full cooperation from the state government to ensure smooth proceedings in the Assembly.

This will be the second session of the 18th Bihar Legislative Assembly.

The Assembly Secretariat has formally informed all legislators, including the Chief Minister and members of the Council of Ministers.

Samrat Choudhary assumed office on April 15, following a political transition in the state after Nitish Kumar moved to the Rajya Sabha.

As per constitutional provisions, the new Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary must prove a majority in the Assembly to validate the state government.

In the November 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, the NDA secured a majority with 202 MLAs, placing the government in a strong position ahead of the trust vote.

Following the formation of the new government, portfolios have been allocated among Ministers.

Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary currently holds charge of 29 departments, including General Administration, Home, Cabinet Secretariat, Vigilance, and Election.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary has been assigned 10 departments, including Water Resources and Parliamentary Affairs, while Deputy Chief Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav is in charge of eight departments, including Energy and Planning and Development.

The Bihar Cabinet expansion is yet to take place.

All-party meeting is a good sign. At least they're trying to keep the House running smoothly. But I'm curious why Nitish Ji moved to Rajya Sabha? That was unexpected. Let's hope this new government focuses on development, not just politics.

With 202 MLAs, the NDA is comfortably placed. But the real test will be how Samrat Choudhary runs the government. Holding 29 portfolios is a red flag—cabinet expansion needs to happen soon. No one person can handle so many departments effectively. Hope the Deputy CMs step up.

Second session of the 18th Assembly—feels like just yesterday we were voting. Let's hope this trust vote is not just a formality and the govt actually delivers. Bihar needs better roads, jobs, and education. Enough of the political games already! 😤

It's good that the new CM is from a backward community, but that shouldn't be the only criteria. We need performance. The portfolio distribution shows they're still figuring things out. Let the trust vote happen, and then let's hold them accountable. ☕

One thing I respect: they're doing a vote of confidence properly. Many states skip this drama when they have majority. But 29 departments with just two DCMs? That's a recipe for inefficiency. Cabinet expansion should be priority number one after the trust vote.
