"Bihar will reach new heights": Chirag Pawan congratulates new CM Samrat Choudhary, says "will miss Nitish in state"

Chirag Paswan says Bihar will reach new heights under CM Samrat Choudhary, vows to continue Nitish Kumar's work, and expresses concern for uncle Pashupati Paras.

"I believe that Bihar will reach new heights from here under Samrat Choudhary's leadership. - Chirag Paswan"

Patna, April 15

Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Wednesday congratulated Bihar's new Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, saying that the state will touch new heights under his leadership and will take forward the efforts of former CM and veteran leader Nitish Kumar.

Speaking to reporters in Patna, Chirag Paswan noted that the leaders in Bihar would miss Nitish Kumar's presence in the state as he moves into a new role as JD(U)'s Rajya Sabha MP.

Paswan said, "Hearty congratulations and best wishes to Samrat Choudhary. He will take my Bihar to the next phase. I believe that Bihar will reach new heights from here under Samrat Choudhary's leadership. Just as Nitish Kumar pulled Bihar out of the 'jungle raj' era and brought it to the stable situation it is in today, undoubtedly under Samrat Choudhary's leadership, our government will carry forward their efforts. We will certainly miss Nitish Kumar's presence and his active role in the state. As he becomes active in central politics, I extend my best wishes to him."

The LJP(RV) chief noted that Samrat Choudhary has worked to build consensus with all the alliance partners.

"Samrat Choudhary has worked to build consensus with all the alliance partners of the coalition. I believe that this capability is in him. I hope that he will carry forward the works of Nitish Kumar and fulfil the resolve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to build a developed Bihar for a developed India," he said.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Samrat Choudhary took oath as Bihar Chief Minister, succeeding Nitish Kumar, who had served as leader of the state for over a decade before deciding to go to the Rajya Sabha.

Meanwhile, on his uncle and RLJP chief Pashupati Kumar Paras's health, Chirag Paswan said, "I received information about his deteriorating health only yesterday morning. Yesterday, I went to meet him. All political differences are set aside; he is like a father to me, in such circumstances, my heart would never allow me not to go meet him. I pray that he recovers soon."

Former Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras has been hospitalised in Patna since Tuesday morning, Chirag Paswan has informed. He visited his uncle in a hospital in Patna to inquire about his health.

Interesting to see the political dynamics. The emphasis on consensus-building is crucial for Bihar's progress. Hope the new CM focuses on education and job creation, which are the real needs.

With all due respect, we've heard "Bihar will reach new heights" many times before. Action speaks louder than words. I'll believe it when I see better roads, schools, and hospitals in my village. The proof will be in the pudding.

It's heartening to see Chirag visit his uncle despite political differences. Family first. Wishing Pashupati Paras ji a speedy recovery. On the CM front, best wishes to Samrat ji. The youth are watching and hoping for opportunities.

Nitish Kumar's move to Rajya Sabha marks the end of an era. He was a tall leader. Now the baton has passed. The new CM has a tough act to follow. Let's support him for the sake of Bihar's future.

Development should be the only agenda. No more caste politics, please. If Samrat Choudhary can deliver on infrastructure and attract industries, he will win everyone's heart. Fingers crossed! 🤞
