The Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) on June 19 announced withdrawal of support to the Nitish Kumar government and submitted the letter of withdrawal to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar.
The announcement was made soon after the party convened its national executive committee meeting at the residence of former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi. At present the HAM has four members in the Bihar Assembly and one member in the Bihar Legislative Council.
However, the withdrawal of support would not have any impact on Mr. Kumar’s government. Out of the 243 Assembly seats, they need 122 to form the government. With the support of the Congress, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the Left parties and an independent, the Janata Dal (United) has the support of 160 members, which is much above the required number.
