Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the 'born-again' Janata Dal (United)-BJP government will shortly face a test of strength in the Assembly - a hurdle it is expected to clear easily. The trust vote will kick-start the Assembly's Budget session.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U) on Saturday said a whip has been issued to ensure the presence of all party MLAs inside the assembly on Monday when the newly formed NDA government will seek a trust vote.
