Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar congratulates Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on being elected as the Leader of the BJP Legislative Party in Bihar during the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) legislators meeting, in Patna. | Photo Credit: ANI The newly elected leader of ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Samrat Choudhary will be sworn-in as the next Chief Minister of Bihar on Wednesday (April 15, 2026), marking an end of over a decades-long political era of outgoing Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Two senior leaders from Janata Dal (United) (JD-U) — Bijendra Prasad Yadav and Vijay Kumar Choudhary — are also likely to be sworn in as Deputy CMs of the State. There were talks and speculation earlier that Nishant Kumar, son of Nitish Kumar, who joined JD-U recently, might take an oath as one of the Dy CMs of the State. However, he is reluctant to don the post before gaining any political experience.
