Bihar New CM: Samrat Choudhary Sworn In As New Bihar Chief Minister; First For BJP

Samrat Choudhary was sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Bihar on Tuesday, marking a major political shift in the state after Nitish Kumar stepped down from the post.

The swearing-in ceremony took place at Lok Bhawan in Patna, with leaders from the NDA alliance in attendance. Choudhary, who previously served as Deputy Chief Minister, was earlier chosen as the NDA legislative party leader, clearing the path for his elevation to the top post.

JD(U) Leaders Join New Cabinet

Alongside Choudhary, senior JD(U) leaders Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav were also sworn in as ministers and are expected to take on key roles, likely as deputy chief ministers in the new government.

The development ensures continuity within the NDA alliance, even as leadership shifts to the BJP in Bihar.

BJP Expands Leadership Presence

With Choudhary taking charge, the Bharatiya Janata Party now further strengthens its political presence, adding Bihar to the list of states where it leads the government.

This marks a significant moment in Bihar's political landscape, as it moves towards its first BJP-led administration.
