Nitish Kumar likely to retain home, give departments with BJP to RJD

Eight-time Bihar CM Nitish Kumar will seek a vote of confidence during a two-day special session of the assembly later this month. The trust vote will be preceded by the election of a new speaker, replacing Vijay Kumar Sinha of BJP, with whom the CM had a spat in the House recently. At its first cabinet meeting, also attended by RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, the new government decided to convene the assembly on August 24 and 25.
