Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary Meets PM Modi in First Post-Oath Visit

Overview

• Samrat Choudhary met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday in his first courtesy call since taking charge as Bihar’s chief minister.
• The Prime Minister’s Office posted on X confirming the meeting, and Modi earlier praised Choudhary’s energy and grassroots record in a public message.
• Choudhary said he received guidance on a vision of a “Developed India and a Prosperous Bihar,” describing the interaction as a courtesy visit.
• The leadership change followed April 15th swearing-in ceremonies after Nitish Kumar resigned to enter the Rajya Sabha, shifting the state’s helm to the BJP-led alliance.
