Bihar Ministry of Home Affairs: Home Department in Bihar is not just a ministry. Indeed, this is an order of authority. Police, intelligence, law and order, crime control… everything is under this department. Nitish Kumar has never given this division to anyone in 20 years. But this time the picture has changed. This change is being seen not only as an administrative but also as a political signal.
Why only Samrat, not Vijay Sinha?
This question is being asked the most in political circles. This question resonates at every intersection. Politics in the Veins of Bihar: WBC (White Blood Cells) is therefore a common topic of discussion in the tea shops of Patna city. It is believed that. There are two major reasons for this.
BJP is grooming Samrat as the future leader

Samrat Chowdhury is an aggressive leader, comes from an OBC background, seems to have managed to gain a firm hold in the organization and is also young. So based on these qualities, BJP is thinking of giving him a bigger role.
During the opposition period, Samrat was the BJP’s sharpest face on law and order issues.
When BJP and JDU split, Samrat Chaudhary was the most aggressive on JDU. His direct target was Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He also tied his turban. Samrat was most aggressive on law and order and Nitish Kumar’s home department. Now he has the same department. It means that the party has directly entrusted him with the responsibility of performance.
Will the UP model enter Bihar now?
Now a big question in the political environment of Bihar is that BJP wants to bring Uttar Pradesh model in Bihar. Where administration is strict, crime is dealt with promptly, police are in action, fast track response and direct action is taken against criminals. So that the trust of the public is won. Fear should be instilled in the criminals and the sense of security should be strengthened in the vote bank of the BJP.
Preparedness to respond to opposition on laws and intruders
The BJP knows that the opposition will make law and order and the infiltration of Bangladeshis the biggest issue in the coming elections. This time he tried to get election mileage by taking SIR. That the public rejected it is a different matter. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced from the platform of Madhubani that the land of Bihar will be freed from intruders and illegal encroachments. The occupied lands will be returned to the owners. So BJP’s control over Home Department was necessary.
Testfire for Samrat Chaudhary?
The home department is considered a challenging ministry in any state, but in Bihar it is a straightforward area of ​​operation. Samrat Chaudhary faces three challenges: controlling crime, living up to BJP’s expectations and proving his leadership ability. If he succeeds, the BJP can project him as a big face. In case of failure, the political equation is sure to change.
Why did Nitish Kumar leave the Home Department?
This is the most interesting question that why did CM Nitish suddenly abandon the department which was not allowed to go in anyone’s hands for 20 years? Was there a deal between Nitish and Dharmendra Pradhan? The debate in general public and political circles is different. Three reasons are given for this.
Administrative fatigue
Perhaps CM Nitish no longer wants to come forward himself on every front.
Maintaining balance of power in NDA
BJP is now in a stronger position than ever. Nitish wants to reserve political space for himself, from where he can exert pressure in future.
Avoid criticism on offense
It is believed that if law and order deteriorates further, now the target of the opposition will not be Nitish but the BJP. That means this can also be a political risk mitigation strategy.

What is the real game?
There are speculations that the BJP wants to gradually take over the NDA in Bihar. For this she is preparing the next CM face. The biggest news in Bihar in the coming months will be law and order performance. The home department is the crown of thorns – the one that tarnishes leaders and sometimes ends political careers. The image of this department was a major contributor to making Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister for the 10th time. Time will tell how much success this department brings to BJP and Samrat Chaudhary.
