Samrat Choudhary has been elected as the BJP legislature party leader in Bihar, paving the way for him to become the next Chief Minister of the state. The announcement was made after a meeting of the NDA legislature party in Patna. Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who was appointed as the central observer, said that Choudhary was elected unanimously.

In a social media post, he said the responsibility is a sacred opportunity to serve the people of Bihar. He pledged to work with dedication and commitment.
