Patna,15,2026: Samrat Choudhary sworn-in Bihar’s first BJP chief minister after veteran politician Nitish Kumar stepped down. Samrat Choudhary was deputy chiefminister. Choudhary has held senior roles in the BJP, including that of the party’s state president, and led major election campaigns.
Kumar, who belongs to BJP’s ally Janata Dal (United), or JD(U), was elected to the Upper House of parliament last month. The 75-year-old politician’s move had been on the cards for a while because of his deteriorating health.
He resigned from the chief minister’s post on Tuesday, paving the way for Choudhary’s appointment.
