Samrat Choudhary New Bihar CM

The appointment of Samrat Choudhary marks a historic shift in Bihar's political landscape, ending Nitish Kumar's long tenure as the state's longest-serving chief executive.

Choudhary, who currently holds the Home portfolio, has been a central figure in the NDA government and is regarded as one of the BJP's strongest organizational leaders in the region.

His rise to power mirrors the party's strategy in other states, where it has successfully transitioned from a coalition partner to the dominant political force.

Choudhary has pledged to carry forward the state's development goals under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
