Who is Bihar's New Deputy Chief Minister? Meet Samrat Choudhary!

Samrat Choudhary Takes the Helm as BJP Legislature Party Leader

Patna: On Tuesday, Samrat Choudhary was appointed as the leader of the BJP legislature party, as announced by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

The BJP, which holds the majority in the 243-member Assembly with 89 MLAs, swiftly chose Choudhary for this role following the resignation of Nitish Kumar, the JD(U) leader who recently became a Rajya Sabha MP. Kumar submitted his resignation to Governor Syed Ata Hasnain.

Chouhan, designated as the central observer by the BJP parliamentary board for this election, confirmed to the media, "Samrat Choudhary has been elected unanimously as the leader of the BJP legislature party."

Choudhary, who represents Tarapur as an MLA, is set to become the next Chief Minister of Bihar after being elected as the NDA legislature party leader.
