Samrat Choudhary is set to take the oath as the first Chief Minister of Bihar from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking a definitive end to Nitish Kumar’s long-standing tenure as the face of the NDA in the state.
Nitish Kumar resigned following a final cabinet meeting in Patna, citing a decision to step back from the top post after over two decades of dominance in Bihar politics.
The transition follows a consensus within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with the BJP asserting its position as the senior partner in the coalition ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.
The swearing-in ceremony in Patna will include a fresh council of ministers, with top NDA leadership and potentially central observers in attendance to oversee the transition of power.
