Bihar unit BJP chief Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha were named Deputy Chief Ministers. Soon after these three leaders took oath in Raj Bhavan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated them on ‘X’. “I want to congratulate Nitish Kumar for becoming the chief minister, and Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Sinha for becoming deputy chief ministers of Bihar,” PM Modi said.

“The NDA government formed in Bihar will leave no stone unturned for the development of the state and to fulfill the aspirations of its people. I am confident that this team will work in a dedicated manner for my family members of Bihar,” he added. BJP national president J.P. Nadda was also present in the swearing-in ceremony.

The fresh development — BJP-JD-U alliance — came just ahead of the general elections, which, according to the political analysts, is expected to give the saffron party an edge in putting up a “strong performance” in the Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. Bihar has a total of 40 Lok Sabha seats.
