Samrat Chaudhary, elected BJP legislative leader, set to be Bihar Chief Minister. He thanks BJP leadership and credits Nitish Kumar for governance lessons.

"This is not merely a position for me, but a sacred opportunity to serve the people of Bihar. - Samrat Chaudhary"

Patna, April 14

Newly-elected leader of the BJP Legislative party in Bihar, Samrat Chaudhary, who is set to take over as new Bihar Chief Minister, on Tuesday expressed his deep gratitude to the party's central leadership and described his new role as a "sacred opportunity" to serve the people of the state.

He also lauded the role of Nitish Kumar, saying he has taught a lot of things and that the Viksit Bharat vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that of prosperous Bihar by Nitish Kumar will make the state prosperous.

In a post on X, Choudhary said he would seek to fulfil the trust and dreams of the people of Bihar.

"I express my heartfelt gratitude to the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party for reposing their trust in me by assigning the responsibility of Leader of the BJP Bihar Legislative Party. This is not merely a position for me, but a sacred opportunity to serve the people of Bihar, to fulfill their trust and dreams. I pledge to live up to the expectations of one and all with complete dedication, commitment, and integrity," he said.

"Under the able leadership of the country's esteemed Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and the guidance of the honorable National President Shri @NitinNabin ji, I will remain continuously committed to taking Bihar to new heights of development, good governance, and prosperity. Your affection, blessings, and cooperation are my greatest strength. Jai Bihar, Jai Bharat!" he added.

Choudhary, who is the Bihar Deputy Chief Minister, also talked to reporters and said the BJP had given him several opportunities.

"In my life, the BJP gave me several opportunities to serve. I have been working as a political worker for about 30 years, but there was no ideology by my side earlier. I have worked for the BJP since 2015...I assure the PM, HM, party's national president, general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and party president Sanjay Saraogi that the ideology of the BJP - we will continue to take up the work of considering India before everything else and considering it the best, and prioritising the party," he said.

"Nitish Kumar taught a lot of things - how the govt is run, how good governance will be established in Bihar and what is good for democracy in Bihar...The vision of Viksit Bharat of PM Modi and that of prosperous Bihar by Nitish Kumar - together we will make Bihar prosperous and make the country developed," he added.

Union Minister Giriraj Singh said Nitish Kumar has given his "blessings to Samratji" and the BJP Legislative Party elected him as its leader.

Nitish Kumar, who has been elected to Rajya Sabha, resigned as Chief Minister earlier in the day marking a significant political transition in Bihar politics.

It is the first time that Bihar will have a BJP Chief Minister.

Respectful words for Nitish ji, but actions speak louder. The real test will be on the ground - better roads, electricity, and law & order. We have heard many promises before. 🤞

Interesting political shift. As an observer, I hope this transition brings more investment into Bihar. The state has immense potential that needs to be unlocked with good policy.

Finally! This was long overdue. With a clear BJP leadership, Bihar can align more closely with the centre's schemes and funding. Focus should be on infrastructure and education. #ViksitBihar

His speech sounds humble and promising. But let's be honest, the real issue is implementation. So many CMs have come and gone. We need someone who delivers, not just gives speeches. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong.
