dig at bihar Chief minister Nitish Kumar. amit shah said, I am familiar with all the problems (infiltration, land
grabbing, illegal trade) on the border of Bihar. I assure you that elections will be held in bihar soon and under the
leadership of PM Modi, the bharatiya janata party (BJP) will )'s government will be formed. With this claim of
the Union home minister, it is important to know whether there is any threat to Nitish Kumar's government and
what is the situation of bihar Assembly at present.

alliance has a total of 160 seats which includes 79 seats of RJD, 45 of JDU, 19 of Congress, 12 of cpi Marxist-

Is the grand alliance government in danger?
Among the opposition parties in the state, bjp has 78 seats, Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) has 4 seats.
AIMIM has one seat. If we look at the current equation of the Assembly, there does not appear to be any threat to
the Nitish government. Although no one knows what will happen in politics, but at present the Grand Alliance
government is safe.
