With Samrat Chaudhary taking oath as the Chief Minister, a new chapter is going to start in the politics of Bihar. Samrat Chaudhary has become the first CM of BJP in Bihar. Although his coronation is taking place today (April 15), but Union Home Minister Amit Shah had promised to make him a ‘big man’ about 6 months ago.

Actually, during Bihar Assembly elections, Amit Shah had come to Tarapur to address an election rally. During this, he had promised from the stage that ‘Make Samrat ji win with a huge majority, Modi ji will make Samrat ji a big man.’ This statement given by Shah 6 months ago has now become a reality. On Tuesday, he was elected the leader of the NDA legislature party and today (April 15) he took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar.

Samrat Chaudhary’s political journey

Even though Samrat Chaudhary started his political career with RJD, BJP gave him everything that a common political worker desires. Samrat Chaudhary has seen politics closely since his childhood. His father Shakuni Chaudhary has been a big leader of RJD in Bihar. His father Shakuni Chaudhary has been MLA and MP seven times and mother Parvati Devi has been MLA from Tarapur constituency.

Won election from Tarapur of Munger

In the last assembly elections, Samrat Chaudhary also won from Tarapur in Munger. Before BJP, he had also been in RJD and JDU. Samrat Chaudhary entered active politics in 1990 and took oath as Agriculture Minister in the Government of Bihar on 19 May 1999. He contested elections from Parbatta (Assembly constituency) in 2000 and 2010 and was elected MLA. In 2010, he was made the Chief Whip of the opposition party in the Bihar Assembly.

Made a big political identity

At the same time, since the year 2018, he has been identified as a BJP leader. In 2019, when Nityanand Rai was the state president of BJP, Samrat Chaudhary was made the state vice president. After this he became a powerful leader in BJP. When Nitish Kumar broke ties with BJP and formed a grand alliance government with RJD, Samrat Chaudhary got great political recognition. Samrat Chaudhary became the leader of opposition in the Legislative Council. That day, he tied a turban on his head saying that he would remove the turban only after Nitish Kumar was removed from the post of Chief Minister. In the year 2023, Samrat Chaudhary became the state president of BJP, and after this, when Nitish Kumar again returned to NDA, he occupied the chair of Deputy Chief Minister.

Referring to Samrat Chaudhary, he said that the will of Nitish Kumar overshadowed the slip of big leaders of BJP. He said that Samrat has become the first Chief Minister of BJP but there is a strange silence in BJP.

Nitish ji’s wish overshadowed the slip of the top leaders of BJP!”

Congress said- ‘Nitish Kumar reversed…’

Congress has reacted to the changing political winds in Bihar. Bihar Congress spokesperson Dr. Snehashish Vardhan says that today, on the birth anniversary of Constitution maker Baba Saheb, the way democracy is being murdered in Bihar by BJP, the demand of JDU workers to make Nishant Kumar the CM and the silence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may prove to be doom for the Bharatiya Janata Party.

He said that Nitish Kumar is a master of backfiring. BJP’s angry Hanuman may turn the tables on LJP, old ally Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hum(Se) and Telugu Desam Party’s Naidu Saheb.

Before the formation of the new NDA government in Bihar, news that will give tension to JDU has come to light. Amidst the political turmoil, the troubles of JDU MLA Amarendra Pandey alias Pappu Pandey have increased. Gopalganj police has issued a non-bailable warrant against Kuchaykot Assembly MLA Amarendra Kumar alias Pappu Pandey, his brother Satish Pandey and CA Rahul Tiwari.

Gopalganj SP Vinay Tiwari has sent two police teams to arrest the MLA and his brother. After this news came out, there was panic in the political circles.

What is the matter?

According to SP Vinay Tiwari, an FIR has been lodged against the MLA on charges of grabbing land and giving protection to the land mafia in Belwa village of Kuchaykot police station area. Police is raiding their possible hideouts. At present, due to police raid, the MLA and his brother have gone underground.

Jitendra Kumar Rai has filed a complaint

Let us tell you that Jitendra Kumar Rai, a resident of Semrao village of Mirganj police station area, had lodged an FIR on April 1 on charges of taking possession of land by preparing fake documents in Belwa village of Kuchaykot police station area. In this case, the police had arrested four miscreants including land mafia Bhola Pandey, resident of Siwan and sent them to jail in judicial custody. In this case, the MLA and his brother have been accused of being conspirators.

It is believed that MLA Pappu Pandey and his brother along with CA can be arrested any time. MLA Pappu Pandey had worked in other parties before JDU. Many criminal cases are already registered against them. It remains to be seen how long the team formed for arrest gets success.

Bharatiya Janata Party has given a big responsibility to Shivraj Singh Chauhan. The party has appointed Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan as the central observer for the election of its legislature party leader in Bihar.

This information has been given today (Sunday, April 12) by issuing a press release on behalf of the party’s National General Secretary Arun Singh. It is written, “The Parliamentary Board of the Bharatiya Janata Party has appointed Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Rural Development, Government of India, as the Central Observer for the election of the leader of the party legislature party in Bihar.”

RJD raised questions on this step

After this information released by BJP, politics has intensified. RJD MP Sudhakar Singh has attacked regarding this. Sudhakar Singh says that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is still on the chair in Bihar. The resignation has not even taken place, but BJP has already started preparations to elect its Chief Minister.

Now it has to be seen who becomes the Chief Minister. It is almost clear that someone from Bharatiya Janata Party will be the CM of Biha. Most of the claims in media reports are about Samrat Chaudhary.

Also read- Last meeting of Nitish cabinet on 14th, date of new government also decided, who is the Chief Minister?

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar (Bihar CM Nitish Kumar) Left for Delhi from Patna on Thursday to take membership of Rajya Sabha. Will take oath tomorrow (April 10). Everyone is waiting to know who will be the Chief Minister of Bihar after him. Meanwhile, a torn picture has emerged in BJP. On Thursday (April 09, 2026), the poster of Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary put up outside the party office was torn down. This poster was put up in support of Samrat for the post of CM.

On Thursday morning, when the ABP News team had gone for coverage, some workers arrived and started tearing the posters. A worker who tore the poster said that it was pasted at the gate of the BJP office. This is an office area, so no posters of any kind can be put up here.

Who had put up the poster?

It is said that the poster was put up by Rajesh Kumar, President of Valmiki Samaj Sangh. It was written at the top of the poster, “This is the call of Valmiki Samaj Sangh, there should be Emperor’s government in Bihar.” It was written below the poster, “We have given every possible support to BJP, the contractual system should end under your government.”

What did BJP say about the poster?

On this entire controversy, BJP leader and minister Ramkripal Yadav said, “I have not even seen it so what should I comment on? The opposition kept dreaming. There are neither two factions in our party nor will there ever be. There is rock solid strength in our party and in the NDA. Nothing is going to happen if the opposition keeps making noise. The opposition is not going to get power now. The people of Bihar are never going to give a chance.”

Power struggle going on in BJP: Congress

Congress has attacked this. Party spokesperson Dr. Snehasish Vardhan said that there is a struggle for power going on in BJP. That struggle has come out today in the form of poster tearing programme. Some strong leader from within the party is opposing Samrat Chaudhary. That is, Samrat Chaudhary keeps declaring himself a strong contender for the post of CM through lakhs of media management, but there is some strong leader in the party who wants him not to become the Chief Minister.

An important meeting of BJP is going to be held in Delhi for the formation of new government in Bihar. According to BJP sources, on April 10, leaders of Bihar BJP core group were called to Delhi. The meeting will be held under the chairmanship of BJP national president Nitin Naveen. Apart from the top central leaders of BJP, leaders from Bihar will also participate in it.

Talking about the leaders attending the meeting, State President Sanjay Saraogi, Deputy Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha will be present. Apart from these, Nityanand Rai, Sanjay Jaiswal, Regional Organization General Secretary Nagendra ji and State Organization General Secretary Bhikhu Bhai Dalsania will also be present.

Name can be sought from the state core committee

Besides, other prominent leaders including Minister Dilip Jaiswal and Minister Mangal Pandey have also been called. The name of the Chief Minister can be formally sought from the State Core Committee in the meeting. An effort will be made to create a consensus on the name of the new Chief Minister. After discussion in the meeting, the national leadership will take further decisions.

The picture is not clear regarding who will be the new Chief Minister of Bihar. Many names including Samrat Chaudhary are being discussed in different media reports but no one has any official information. In such a situation, it is difficult to say who will be the CM.
