Samrat Choudhary was sworn in as Bihar CM on Wednesday, becoming the first leader from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to head the government in the state.

I am fully confident that their ground-level experience and commitment to public welfare will give a new direction and momentum to Bihar’s development. Along with this, the state will establish ever-new standards of good governance, transparency, and public welfare.”
The swearing-in ceremony was attended by several senior leaders of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which includes the BJP, JD(U) and three other constituent parties.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also congratulated the new Chief Minister. In a post on X, he said, “Heartfelt congratulations to Shri Samrat Choudhary ji on taking the oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar. I extend my best wishes for your successful tenure as the first Chief Minister of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Bihar.”
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and Shri Nitish Kumar ji, the NDA was serving the people of Bihar with dedication, and I am confident that under your leadership, it will gain even greater momentum. The NDA’s double-engine government will work with even more energy towards building a secure and developed Bihar,” added HM Shah.
