Nitish Kumar’s blue-eyed boy Samrat Choudhary not some BJP leaders’ favourite pick as Bihar CM

New Delhi, 14/4: Even as a sustained buzz surrounds Samrat Choudhary for his possible appointment as the BJP’s first chief minister in Bihar, sources in the party said a section of BJP leaders is unhappy with the development.

Surprisingly, the deputy chief minister has found support from members of NDA ally Nitish-led Janata Dal United, and from an unlikely quarter — leaders of his former party and BJP rival, Lalu Prasad’s Rashtriya Janata Dal.
