Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday met his predecessor and discussed contemporary political issues ahead of the Monsoon Session of the Legislative Assembly.
"Today, had an affectionate meeting with the Honourable former Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar ji," Samrat Choudhary posted on X. According to a statement by the Bihar BJP unit, "During this amicable meeting, discussions took place on various contemporary issues. His experience and guidance are always a source of inspiration." This meeting came ahead of the first full-fledged Bihar Assembly Session beginning on July 20, since Nitish Kumar resigned from the top post last April. Choudhary had faced a floor test in the Assembly in a one-day session earlier on April 24, while Nitish Kumar took the oath as a Rajya Sabha MP in the same month. According to the Monsoon Session schedule, certified copies of ordinances promulgated by the Governor during the period when the Bihar Legislature was not in session will be laid on the table on July 20. The First Supplementary Statement of Expenditure for the financial year 2026-2027 will be presented before the House on July 20. The government will table the Bills on July 21 and 22. The Appropriation Bill regarding the Statement of First Supplementary Expenditure for the financial year 2026-2027 will be debated and voted on July 23. July 24 has been dedicated to the business of Private Members. The Opposition is expected to corner the NDA government over Bharat Bhushan Tiwari's police encounter. The incident has sparked controversy after a Facebook Live video, recorded shortly before the shooting, appeared to show Tiwari throwing away his pistol toward police personnel. Following complaints by Tiwari's family, Bihar Police registered an FIR against the Jagdishpur DSP, Shahpur SHO and other police personnel in connection with the encounter. The investigation into the case is underway. (ANI)
