Marking a historic shift in Bihar's political landscape, Samrat Choudhary was sworn in on April 15 as the first-ever Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister of the state. The 57-year-old leader, who succeeds Nitish Kumar after his 21-year tenure, has retained the crucial Home Ministry and taken charge of 29 departments, signalling a centralised governance model. The oath of office was administered by Governor Lt Gen (Retd.) Syed Ata Hasnain at Lok Bhawan. Choudhary, who earlier served as Deputy Chief Minister, now oversees key portfolios including Home, Agriculture, Health, Tourism, Art and Culture, and Sports. His elevation follows his appointment as BJP state president in 2023 and his subsequent role as Deputy CM in 2024, marking a rapid rise within the party's Bihar leadership. (ANI)
