"Samrat Choudhary will work to accelerate NDA's good governance": Bihar Minister Jibesh Kumar
Patna, April 14
Bihar Minister Jibesh Kumar on Tuesday said that the NDA's governance in the state will continue as Samrat Choudhary was elected as the leader of the BJP Legislature Party.
Speaking to reporters here on the development, Kumar said, "The NDA's rule was, is, and will remain. Samrat Choudhary will work to accelerate good governance further. We extend our best wishes to him."
Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav said there is joy among everyone. "Samrat Choudhary will lead the NDA and fulfil the dream of a 'Viksit Bihar".
The development marks a key political shift in Bihar, with the NDA set to formalise leadership and proceed towards government formation.
Earlier, Samrat Choudhary was elected on Tuesday as the Leader of the BJP Legislative Party in Bihar, paving the way for his elevation as the state Chief Minister following the resignation of Nitish Kumar.
Nitish Kumar, who has been Chief Minister for the past 21 years, tendered his resignation earlier in the day, which was accepted by Governor Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (retd).
Samrat Choudhary will be the first Chief Minister of the BJP in Bihar.

Watching from abroad. Political stability is key for investment. If the NDA can provide consistent governance and follow through on 'Viksit Bihar', it could be a model for other states. The proof will be in the implementation.
"The NDA's rule was, is, and will remain." Sounds more like a threat than a promise of good governance. I wish the new CM the best, but the focus should be on people, not just on keeping power. Let's see some actual acceleration in development projects that are stuck.
As a Bihari, I just want better roads, 24/7 electricity, and good schools for my children. Doesn't matter which party or who the CM is. Hope this change brings some tangible benefits to our daily lives. 🙏
Historic moment! First BJP CM in Bihar. This shows the political landscape is truly changing. Expecting a strong focus on infrastructure and law & order. Jai Bihar!
Interesting development. Nitish Kumar was a constant for so long. The real test for the new leadership will be managing coalition partners and delivering on the development dream without the experience of a seasoned administrator like Kumar.
