BJP President Nitin Nabin takes oath as Rajya Sabha member

BJP National President Nitin Nabin sworn into Rajya Sabha. The oath ceremony also follows the swearing-in of new Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary.

"He becomes the first Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister of Bihar - Report"

New Delhi, April 16

BJP National President Nitin Nabin on Thursday took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha. Several other newly elected members also took the oath in the Upper House on the occasion.

Nabin was welcomed by BJP MP Arun Singh upon his arrival at Parliament.

Nitin Nabin, who currently serves as the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, entered electoral politics at a young age and was first elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly in 2006 from the Patna West Assembly constituency.

Since 2010, he has been consecutively elected from the Bankipur Assembly constituency, securing victories in 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2025, becoming a five-time continuous MLA. He also served as a minister in the Government of Bihar prior to assuming his current national role in the party.

Earlier on Wednesday, BJP leader Samrat Choudhary also took an oath as Bihar Chief Minister. Chaudhary was sworn in as the 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.

Bihar Governor Syed Ata Hasnain administered the oath of office to Samrat Choudhary at Lok Bhavan in Patna. He becomes the first Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister of Bihar following the resignation of Nitish Kumar.

The 57-year-old faces a significant challenge as he prepares to succeed Nitish Kumar, who was sworn in as Chief Minister for a record 10th time in 2025 following the NDA's historic victory in the assembly elections.

His elevation marks the end of an era dominated by Nitish Kumar's "Sushasan" (good governance) and the beginning of a new chapter for the NDA in Bihar.

To balance the coalition, Senior Janata Dal (United) leader and Bihar Finance Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav and party leader Vijay Kumar Choudhary also took oaths as the Deputy Chief Ministers of Bihar.

Interesting to see all these changes in Bihar politics at once. Nitin Nabin to RS, Samrat Choudhary as CM... end of the Nitish Kumar era indeed. Hope the new team focuses on development and doesn't get caught up in political games. Bihar needs stability.

Respectfully, I have to ask: is moving a successful state leader to the Rajya Sabha always the best use of talent? Nitin Nabin had a direct connect with Bankipur voters for 15 years. Now both he and Nitish Kumar are in RS. Who will address ground-level issues in Bihar?

As an observer of Indian politics, this seems like a significant generational shift. The article mentions he entered politics "at a young age" and now leads the national party. The BJP's strategy of promoting from within its state units is noteworthy.

Congratulations to Shri Nitin Nabin ji! A dedicated karyakarta rising through the ranks. His experience in Bihar assembly will be valuable in the Rajya Sabha. The dual appointments show the party's focus on Bihar. Samrat Choudhary has big shoes to fill though!

Good to see younger leaders getting these roles. But I hope the new CM and Deputy CMs remember their promises on women's safety and education. Bihar has made progress, but there's still a long way to go. Actions matter more than oath ceremonies.
