Breaking News: Samrat Choudhary Set to Take Oath as Bihar CM in Brief Swearing-In Ceremony

A major political development is unfolding in Bihar as Samrat Choudhary is set to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister. The oath-taking ceremony will be brief, with only three leaders taking oath—Choudhary as CM and two Deputy Chief Ministers from Janata Dal (United), Vijendra Yadav and Vijay Choudhary. Supporters gathered in large numbers in Patna, celebrating as Choudhary left for the ceremony amid flower showers. Senior leaders including JP Nadda and Shivraj Singh Chouhan are expected to attend. This transition follows the long tenure of Nitish Kumar, whose governance legacy is expected to continue under the new leadership. The cabinet expansion is likely after upcoming state election results. Sources indicate key portfolios like Home may remain with BJP, while new faces could be inducted. The ceremony marks a historic moment as BJP leads the government in Bihar under Choudhary’s leadership.
