What is the status of the Bihar Assembly?
Currently, the NDA has 132 MLAs in the Bihar Assembly. Of these, the BJP has 78, the JDU 45, and the HAM 4. The Grand Alliance has 110 MLAs in the Assembly. Of these, the RJD has 78, the Left parties 16, and the Congress 19. The current picture clearly shows that the NDA has an absolute majority. The magic number for the majority is 122.
