Bihar Gets New CM as Samrat Choudhary Replaces Nitish Kumar

 Apr 15 (BNP): Bihar has witnessed a major political shift as Nitish Kumar stepped down from the post of Chief Minister, paving the way for a new leadership in the State. Senior BJP leader Samrat Choudhary has been chosen to take over the role, marking a significant moment in Bihar’s political landscape.

After days of intense speculation, Choudhary was unanimously elected as the leader of the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) legislative parties. Following this decision, he met Governor Syed Ata Hasnain to formally stake his claim to form the government.

He is expected to be sworn in as Chief Minister at the Raj Bhavan in Patna on April 15. The new government will likely include two Deputy Chief Ministers from the Janata Dal (United), reflecting the continued alliance between the BJP and JD(U).

This development signals a shift in leadership while maintaining the broader NDA coalition in the State. Political observers believe the change could influence governance priorities and political dynamics in Bihar in the coming months.
