From Grassroots to Leadership: Samrat Choudhary's Inspiring Political Saga

[Saket Saurabh Pandey,Political Advisor & Analysts,SPACS,New Delhi]

Samrat Choudhary, born on November 16, 1968, in Lakhanpur village of Munger district, Bihar, has emerged as a prominent figure in the state's political landscape. Hailing from a family deeply rooted in politics, his father, Shakuni Choudhary, has served as both an MLA and MP, while his mother, Parvati Devi, was an MLA from Tarapur constituency. This lineage provided Samrat with a robust foundation, propelling him into the political arena at a young age.

A Leader Rooted in Heritage: Samrat Choudhary’s Political Odyssey

Choudhary's political journey commenced in 1990 when he joined the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) under the leadership of Lalu Prasad Yadav. His dedication and leadership skills were soon recognized, leading to his appointment as the Minister of Agriculture in the Rabri Devi government on May 19, 1999. At that time, he oversaw the Measurements and Horticulture departments. However, his tenure was short-lived due to controversies surrounding his age, leading to his removal from the ministry.

Undeterred by this setback, Choudhary contested the Bihar Legislative Assembly elections from the Parbatta constituency in 2000 and secured a victory. He replicated this success in the 2010 elections, reinforcing his position as a significant player in Bihar's politics. In 2010, he was appointed as the Chief Whip of the opposition in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, further solidifying his leadership credentials.

In 2014, Choudhary's political trajectory took a notable turn when he was appointed as the Minister of Urban Development and Housing in the Jitan Ram Manjhi government. This period was marked by his efforts to enhance urban infrastructure and housing facilities in Bihar. His tenure, however, was brief, ending in February 2015.

Choudhary's association with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) began in 2018 when he was appointed as the Vice President of the BJP's Bihar unit. This move was significant, as it aligned him with a party seeking to expand its influence among the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Bihar. Choudhary, belonging to the Koeri caste, became an instrumental figure in this strategy.

In the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, Choudhary was designated as a star campaigner for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). His campaign strategies and outreach played a pivotal role in consolidating the NDA's support base among the OBCs, contributing to their electoral success.

The year 2021 saw Choudhary's return to the state cabinet as the Minister of Panchayati Raj in Nitish Kumar's expanded cabinet. His tenure was marked by initiatives aimed at strengthening local governance structures and promoting rural development. However, it was not without controversies, including a notable spat with the Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Vijay Kumar Sinha, which he later resolved by apologizing.

In March 2023, Choudhary's stature within the BJP rose significantly when he was appointed as the President of the party's Bihar unit. This appointment underscored the BJP's strategy to project a strong OBC leader in the state, positioning Choudhary as a counterbalance to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Choudhary's political acumen and leadership were further recognized in January 2024 when he was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar alongside Vijay Kumar Sinha under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's leadership. In this capacity, he was entrusted with several key departments, including Finance, Health, Commercial Taxes, Urban Development and Housing, Sports, Panchayati Raj, Industry, Animal and Fisheries Resources, and Planning.

One of his significant achievements as Deputy Chief Minister was presenting a ₹2.79 lakh crore budget for the fiscal year 2024-25, the largest in Bihar's history. He announced a growth rate of 10.64% for the state and highlighted that 2.5 crore people had risen above the poverty line in recent years. Additionally, he sanctioned the creation of 30,547 new posts in various government departments, aligning with the NDA's commitment to job creation.

However, Choudhary's tenure as the BJP's state president was not without challenges. In July 2024, following an analysis of the party's performance in the Lok Sabha elections, he was replaced by Dilip Kumar Jaiswal. The decision was attributed to the party's assessment that Choudhary had been unable to effectively mobilize the Kushwaha caste vote in favor of the BJP. Despite this, he continued to serve as the Deputy Chief Minister, maintaining his influence in the state's governance.

Throughout his career, Choudhary has been known for his assertive and sometimes controversial statements. In June 2023, he drew national attention by comparing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's bearded appearance to that of Osama bin Laden, a remark that sparked widespread debate.

Samrat Choudhary: A Trailblazer in Bihar’s Political Transformation

In summary, Samrat Choudhary's political journey reflects a blend of strategic acumen, leadership, and adaptability. From his early days in the RJD to his current role as Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, he has navigated the complexities of the state's politics with a focus on development and governance. His tenure has been marked by significant achievements, including substantial budget allocations and job creation initiatives, positioning him as a key figure in Bihar's political landscape.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Patna, 21st Oct. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday directed DGP Alok Raj to expedite the recruitment of 78,000 police personnel in anticipation of the state assembly elections scheduled for next year. At an event where appointment letters were distributed to 1,239 newly recruited sub-inspectors, Kumar expressed the urgency of the matter. “I am telling you, complete the process for the recruitment of 78,000 police personnel in the next six months,” he urged DGP Raj, highlighting the need to bolster the police force ahead of the elections. Currently, the Bihar Police has a strength of 1.10 lakh, and the CM aims to double it to 2.29 lakh. The recruitment process for 21,000 personnel is currently underway, with formalities completed for an additional 20,000. Kumar emphasized the importance of including women in the police force, stating that 35 percent of new recruits should be female. He noted that the number of women in the Bihar Police has increased to about 30,000, asserting that no other state has as many women personnel. “The appointment of women police officers is making it easier for female complainants,” Kumar remarked, asserting that the law and order situation has improved significantly since 2005. He pointed out that the division of police work into investigation and law enforcement has led to more efficient operations. Kumar also reiterated his commitment to job creation, noting that his government had promised 10 lakh jobs in 2020, with 7.16 lakh positions filled so far. He underscored the police force’s crucial role in the state’s development and urged them to maintain their responsibilities effectively. In closing, Kumar congratulated the newly appointed sub-inspectors and wished them success in their future endeavors.

The problems began in the complacency of the mid-2000s. That’s when India should have looked beyond software and semiconductor design and doubled down on shoes, shirts and toys — manufacturing that took advantage of the less-skilled workforce. Rather than turning special economic zones into a land grab, India should have created a few large enclaves. Demonetization and the flawed GST made things worse, and Modi’s campaign of self-reliance may do yet more harm. Why’s the public not angered by it all? In the dirt-poor, northern state of Bihar, almost as populous as Japan, Modi’s Covid lockdown forced migrant workers to return, fearful and jobless. Yet while interviewing voters before elections for the state legislature, Bloomberg News reporters found no dent in Modi’s appeal. People’s ire was reserved for his coalition partner, the state chief minister (Nitish Kumar). And even he managed to retain power thanks to the prime minister’s boundless popularity. The better-governed, faster-growing southern states of India have mostly shunned Modi’s strongman cult, but they’re bit players. It’s the poor, over-populous northern states that matter disproportionately in Indian politics, and it is there that Modi has managed to shift the Overton window, supplanting material prosperity — which no party has delivered since the ’90s — with chest-thumping nationalism and an atavistic yearning for a pre-Islamic past.
