Vijay Kumar Choudhary takes oath in Lok Bhavan as part of new cabinet under Samrat Choudhary
April 15, 2026: Vijay Kumar Choudhary was sworn in as a minister during the oath-taking ceremony held at Lok Bhavan, marking a key step in the formation of the new Bihar government led by Samrat Choudhary. He took both the oath of office and secrecy, pledging allegiance to the Constitution and committing to serve with integrity, impartiality, and dedication.
A senior leader of Janata Dal (United), Choudhary is regarded as a close associate of Nitish Kumar and brings significant administrative experience to the cabinet. His inclusion underscores the continued role and influence of JD(U) within the NDA-led coalition government.
The swearing-in ceremony reflects a broader political transition in the state, with a blend of experienced and emerging leaders taking charge. As more ministers are inducted, attention will now turn to portfolio allocation and the policy direction of the new government, which is expected to focus on governance and development priorities in Bihar.
