Samrat Choudhary Becomes Bihar CM

Choudhary's appointment represents a significant shift in Bihar's political landscape, following a strategy similar to the BJP's recent moves in Maharashtra.

A representative of the Koeri community, the new CM has pledged to propel the state into a new era of development under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.

His rise to power follows months of political maneuvering that saw the BJP strengthen its position within the existing alliance.

Outgoing CM Nitish Kumar's departure marks the end of an era for the state he reshaped over two decades.
