By Rohit Kumar Singh: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has started a campaign in Bihar to project Leader of Opposition Samrat Choudhary as its chief ministerial candidate.
The next assembly election in Bihar is scheduled to be held in 2025.
Union minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh kickstarted the campaign in Begusarai on Tuesday. In his address to the BJP workers and supporters, he asked who should be the next chief minister of Bihar, to which they replied Samrat Choudhary.
“Bihar ka CM kaun? (who should be the chief minister of Bihar) Giriraj Singh asked. The party workers and supporters replied, “Samrat Choudhary, Samrat Choudhary”. He asked the party workers to raise slogans for Samrat Choudhary as CM during their campaigning. Samrat Choudhary is BJP president of the Bihar unit.
Giriraj Singh reiterated that Bihar needed a chief minister like Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath.
“A strong leader like Yogi Adityanath is needed in Bihar who has the guts to remove loudspeakers from mosques. When a chief minister like Yogi Adityanath is in Bihar, all the work will get done in the state,” the union minister said.

Samrat Choudhary also used the opportunity to hit out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that criminals will not be spared in the state if the BJP government comes to power in Bihar.
The party’s Bihar unit has also supported Giriraj Singh’s campaign projecting Samrat Choudhary as the chief ministerial candidate. Party leader Arvind Kumar Singh asserted that people want a BJP chief minister in the state.
“The comments made by Giriraj Singh are the voices of the people. The people of Bihar have lost faith in Nitish Kumar. They want a BJP chief minister. How can one think of a BJP government in the state without the involvement of the Luv-Kush community?” he said while referring to the Kushwaha community to which Samrat Choudhary belongs.
