Sanjay Singh, Patna.The politics of Bihar is once again at a crucial juncture. The real test of the new government is going to be in the special session of the Assembly called on April 24. On this day, Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary will prove his government’s majority by presenting a trust vote in the House. An official notification regarding the session has been issued by the Assembly Secretariat, according to which the proceedings will start at 11 am. This is the first special session after the formation of the new government, hence it is being considered very important in political circles.
Trust vote is an important tool of the democratic system, through which it is decided whether the government has sufficient support of the MLAs or not. Usually it is brought to the House on the instructions of the Governor and the government has to prove majority within the stipulated time. This process becomes especially necessary when a new government is formed or questions are raised on the majority of the existing government. If the government fails to win the trust vote, it has to resign, meaning power can slip out of its hands.

Big challenge for the government
Samrat Chaudhary’s government seems to be continuously active since taking oath on 15th April, but the day of 24th April will prove to be the real test of his leadership. The numerical strength in the House will decide whether the government will remain stable or the political equations will change. In such a situation, the strategies of both the ruling party and the opposition have intensified.

His stance is being seen as an attempt to increase speed and accountability in governance.
Nitish-Samrat meeting
Before the special session, the stir in political circles intensified when former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Samrat Chaudhary. This meeting took place at the residence located at 5 Deshratna Marg, where a cordial atmosphere was seen between the two leaders. In one picture, Samrat Chaudhary was seen greeting Nitish Kumar with folded hands, while Nitish Kumar showed his affection by placing his hand on his shoulder. After the meeting, Nitish Kumar came out smiling, which made the political signals more interesting.
Team balance with Deputy Chief Ministers
