Samrat Choudhary Named Bihar CM

In a historic political shift for Bihar, Samrat Choudhary has taken his oath as Chief Minister following the resignation of Nitish Kumar.

Choudhary, a representative of the Koeri community, has pledged to lead the state into a new era of development under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The move ends Kumar's nearly two-decade dominance and signals a major reorganization of the NDA alliance in the region.

While opposition parties have called the transition a betrayal of the mandate, BJP supporters celebrated the appointment of their first state leader in Lakhanpur.
