Samrat Choudhary to Take Oath as Bihar CM, NDA Leaders to Attend Ceremony

Bihar is witnessing a significant political shift as Samrat Choudhary prepares to take the oath of office as the state's 24th chief minister. This move marks a historic moment, with Samrat Choudhary becoming the first BJP leader to hold the chief minister's post in Bihar. The swearing-in ceremony will be held at Lok Bhavan on Wednesday at 10:50 AM, where Governor Syed Ata Hasnain will administer the oath. The event will be attended by key NDA leaders, including BJP national president Nitin Nabin, Union minister J.P. Nadda, and Union ministers Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi. The political transition follows the resignation of JD(U) president Nitish Kumar, who stepped down as CM on Tuesday after being sworn in as a Rajya Sabha member. The NDA legislators unanimously elected Samrat Choudhary as their leader in a meeting, signaling the new government's formation. After meeting with the Governor, Choudhary staked his claim to form the government. The induction of only three leaders initially hints at a "small cabinet," with future expansions expected next month. As of now, 33 ministerial posts will remain vacant following the ceremony. The political shift also includes the induction of two deputy chief ministers from JD(U): Vijay Kumar Choudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav. This move signifies the continuing cooperation between BJP and JD(U), even as Nitish Kumar exits the stage after serving as Bihar’s longest-serving CM. His departure marks the end of an era, as he had been in office for 10 terms since 2005. Samrat Choudhary's ascent to the top position within the NDA is viewed as a result of his steady political career, having originally started with RJD before joining the BJP in 2017. His election as CM is seen as a strategic choice after Nitish Kumar's exit and reflects the changing dynamics within Bihar’s political landscape. This transition also came with emotional farewells, as Nitish Kumar paid tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on his final day as CM and assured full cooperation to the incoming government. In contrast, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav mocked Choudhary, labeling him a “product of Lalu ji’s school” and questioning the legitimacy of the NDA's mandate, considering it contested elections under Nitish Kumar’s leadership. However, BJP leaders and workers expressed their enthusiasm, calling this a monumental moment for the party in Bihar's political scene. As Bihar’s political future unfolds, Samrat Choudhary's leadership and the ongoing NDA alliance will play a pivotal role in the state’s development and governance in the coming years.

Nitish Kumar Takes Oath as Rajya Sabha Member: Who Will Be Bihar's Next Chief Minister?

On April 10, 2026, Nitish Kumar, the longest-serving Chief Minister of Bihar, took his oath as a Rajya Sabha member, marking a significant milestone in his political journey. This development sets the stage for the formation of a new government in Bihar, and speculation has already begun on who will be the next Chief Minister. The oath-taking ceremony was attended by prominent political figures, including Bihar's Deputy Chief Ministers Vijay Kumar Sinha and Samrat Choudhary, BJP president JP Nadda, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and Minister of State for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal. Nitish Kumar, who resigned from the Bihar Legislative Council on March 30, after being elected to the Rajya Sabha in early March, has now paved the way for the NDA to select a new leader to lead Bihar. The NDA leadership is expected to elect a new Chief Minister on April 14, though no official announcements have been made yet. Speculation is rife about potential candidates for the position, and several names are being discussed in political circles. Among the frontrunners is Nitish Kumar's son, who has not been politically active but could emerge as a strong contender. Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary is also seen as a likely candidate, given his prominence within the NDA and his role in state politics. Another possible contender is Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, who is believed to have close ties with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Nitish Kumar's political career has been marked by frequent shifts in alliances, alternating between the BJP and Mahagathbandhan (RJD and Congress). Despite these political realignments, his ability to maintain a foothold in Bihar's leadership has been remarkable, having secured a fifth consecutive electoral victory in 2025. As Bihar waits for the official announcement of its next Chief Minister, the political landscape remains dynamic, with several figures poised to take on the state's top leadership role. With Nitish Kumar’s departure from the state-level leadership, it will be interesting to see who emerges as the new face of Bihar in the coming days.
