Live: Nitish Kumar wins trust vote

• Whatever the leader of the Opposition said it has been answered. in politics, we have political answers
• I had to take this decision on the belief that development should be inclusive.
• What happened after we split has proved that it was the right decision
• It is our responsibility as socialists and democrats that we stick to our basic principles
• I thank Congress for supporting us but nothing further should be read into it. I also thank CPI for their support.
• They are distributing my 2003 CD, it seems a certificate from the whole party is not good enough, my certificate is needed.
• We did not think whether my government will survive or not, we proved majority in 72 hours.
• Politics is not based on profit and loss, I will have no regrets if I don't remain the Chief Minister.
  

• The members of the Assembly of have expressed themselves. I thank them for their opinions.
• Why did such a situation arise?
• Till yesterday he was our ally, today he is Leader of the Opposition.
• He said what he had to and then left.
• When JD(U) leader was speaking, he was interrupted. That was not right. Everyone has a right to speak.
• One should speak as well as listen.
• The reason why such a situation arose is clear from the slogans they raised when the session began.
• I have always talked about Bihar's achievements.
• My friend here was criticising the steps taken by me.
• I want to ask how is praising Bihar's achievements criticising someone else?
• I had said that Bihar's development model is all encompassing. It is inclusive of every one.
• In our development, we have concentrated on infrastructure, law and order and human development.
• I said Bihar is the first state to bring 50 % reservation in some areas. This was seen as someone's criticism.
  
• Country's leader should be someone who can take everyone along.
• At the beginning of the session, BJP supporters were not raising slogans for Sushil Modi, they were raising slogans for someone else.
• What development model are they talking about? Do already developed cities need development or do under developed areas need a development plan? A leader should think about everyone.
• Referring to his 2003 speech: If I go as Railways Minister to a function to someone's state, shall I criticise the person? Even in that speech I said there is big blot on Gujarat.
• In 2005 and 2009, why were people not called from outside? In June 2010, I was willing to quit, the alliance was at break-point.
• On Modi ad controversy: Many people came to our aid in 2010, they did not publish advertisements in newspapers in Bihar.
• I believe in inclusive development.
• What development model? In Gujarat, a developed state, the minimum wages is Rs 100 per day; in Bihar, which is a poor state, it is Rs 162.
• They kept saying clear your stand, and when we did, they said we have betrayed them.
• To RJD: Has the BJP outsourced the task of abusing us to you? Why are you speaking their language?
• Congress and CPI said this is a secular govt; I congratulate them.
• There are two streams of development in the country - one which is inclusive, second which is imposing.
• The fundamental nature of India according to the Constitution is inclusive.
• We will never accept divisive politics in India.
• Advaniji had asked them to abide by Rajdharm, what was the difficulty?
• We had said the controversial issues like Common Civil Code, Ayodhya or Section 370 should not be raked.
• We cannot sit back, we had asked the leadership issue to be decided.
• We should not use harsh words, both sides should avoid  this. They started it but we should not retaliate.
• We will respond to it politically.
• We could not just sit and watch when the alliance was moving away from its founding agenda.
• I did not want to say harsh words as we had an alliance for 17 years but they were the ones who started.
• If they had let things in Bihar run as they were and continued with Atalji's path at the Centre we would not have left.
• After coming back from Seva Yatra I spoke to my party people and decided to speak to BJP leaders to decide on a roadmap for split. BJP leaders did not come for the meeting nor did they come for Cabinet meeting.
• BJP leaders raised a lot of questions on a Cabinet meeting being held at Chief Minister's residence on a Sunday.
• But it was not the first time that was being done.
• The Chief Minister's residence is not his personal house. It is his official residence.
• Today Bihar's development is talked about in other countries and our friends should have been proud of that but that was not to be.
• It is easy to accuse people.
• Ask Nand Kishore ji what kind of bandh he called for? He kept his own shop open and closed the rest.
• The bandh was almost a flop had that one incident of clash not happened.
• Ayaa toh sauda baar baar amir ka, magar ho na saka sauada zameer ka. (Message to the rich, we could not sell our conscience)
• The BJP now talks of an OBC leader, but just because you talk of being one it doesn't mean he is a leader of people classes.
• They have started  caste politics again, the same thing that the RJD would do.
• Idea of India is inclusive not divisive. To form a government you need 272 MPs. It is an era of coalition politics, have no illusions.
• I would have been happy if the BJP had come for the meeting and told us how to part ways.
• I bring the proposal of trust vote to the House.
  

• This is a betrayal of the mandate of the people of Bihar
• We did not object to Nitish Kumar cancelling dinner when Narendra Modi came to Bihar in the larger interests of the state
• We did not want to let Lalu Yadav come back in Bihar; so we decided to continue with the alliance at any cost
• We have no information on Advaniji speaking to Rajnath Singh; I can't comment on source based news  
• If we had the same ideology, what is the need for an alliance?
• Alliances are based on a common minimum program... we kept controversial issues like  Ramjanmabhoomi separate.
• Nobody is enemy in politics. I have worked with Lalu Yadav, I've also worked with Nitish Kumar.
• Who forms the govt will get clear in the near future, but we won't let Lalu come back to power.

JD(U) has insulted the mandate of the people of Bihar. There can't be arrogance in an alliance.

When the time has come to remove congress from power the JD(U) has withdrawn.

The JD(U) has no future in the  Lok Sabha polls. Nor does a Third Front.

• We never betray people even though they may betray us
  
• They broke the alliance and I feel that is unfortunate
• There can be no vetoes in an alliance
• When we had 67 MLAs and JDU had 34 in 2000, we accepted Nitish Kumar  should be the Chief Minister.
• What crime has the BJP committed that the alliance, an emotional bond which lasted 17 years should be shredded to bits?
• What is my crime? Just this that for electoral success I as party president named Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the elction campaign committee
• In 2002, the riots were unfortunate but is Narendra Modi responsible for it - riots have not occurred only in the BJP regime... why brand us communal?
• BJP does nor believe in politics based on caste or religion, we have a nationalist ideology.
• Now the time has come to remove the Congress from power, we don't want to live up to the expectations of the people
• Those who do not pay heed to popular sentiment can't survive in the long run.
• BJP wants to take all non-Congress parties together and work for India's development.
