Patna (Bihar) [India], January 28 : Bihar's newly elected Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary on Sunday asserted that NDA (National Democratic Alliance) would secure victory in all 40 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"We will win all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. In 2020 we won the elections and defeated Lalu Yadav's family and will do the same in future also," Samrat Choudhary told ANI on Sunday.
Bihar Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President and MLC Choudhary took oath as a Cabinet Minister at Raj Bhavan in Patna.
Choudhary was on Sunday chosen as the leader of the BJP's legislature party, paving the way for him to become the Bihar Deputy Chief Minister.
Janata Dal-United chief Nitish Kumar took oath as Bihar Chief Minister for the ninth time at Raj Bhavan on Sunday after snapping ties with "Mahagathbandhan".
After days of speculation, JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar resigned as the Chief Minister of Bihar his second volte face in less than 18 months. Snapping ties with the RJD and Congress, Nitish formed a government with BJP's support.
Samrat who always wears a turban on his head, is known as a bold and aggressive State BJP leader.
It is worth mentioning that earlier in 2023 when asked about the turban, he had said that the turban would go off the moment Nitish Kumar is removed from the CM's post.
54-year-old Choudhary took over as the state BJP chief in March 2023. He joined the BJP six years ago and has also been the BJP leader of Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Council.
He has also served as Minister for Urban Development and Housing, Health in 2014 in Jitan Ram Manjhi Ministry and Minister of Metrology and Horticulture in 1999 in Rabri Devi Ministry.
