So he got to know politics from childhood. When Nitish Kumar broke away from the Janata Dal and formed the Samata Party based on the Love-Kush equation, Shakuni Chaudhary became a prominent figure as the ‘Kush’ face.

Politically, Samrat Chaudhary became a staunch opponent of Nitish Kumar during the Grand Alliance regime. until they are deleted. They were adamant that they would not even open their homes until then. However, as soon as the BJP returned to power under the 2020 mandate, Samrat Chaudhary joined hands with Nitish Kumar like a shadow. The sources of power in Bihar remained firmly in the hands of the Lav-Kush family. Due to this equation, Samrat Chaudhary is still Nitish Kumar’s first choice for BJP’s Chief Minister post.

After that Samrat Chaudhary never looked back. He has become an integral part of Bihar BJP. In 2019, when Nityanand Rai was the BJP state president, Samrat was appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister.

When the BJP became the single largest party in 2020, Samrat was appointed as a member of the Legislative Council by the same party. Even after getting the 2020 mandate, when Nitish Kumar briefly became the Chief Minister of the Grand Alliance, Legislative Council member Samrat Chaudhary appeared before him as the Leader of the Opposition. He became Nitish’s biggest opponent due to sharp and pointed verbal clashes. Subsequently, the association appointed him as the regional president in 2023. When Nitish Kumar signaled his return to the NDA in December 2023 and left the Grand Alliance to join the NDA in January 2024, the BJP chose Samrat Chaudhary as its Legislative Party Leader. Thus he became Deputy Chief Minister. He retained his post even after the 2025 Bihar elections.

Negative due to education…

Samrat Chaudhary was sidelined from politics for some time due to age controversy. As he began his new career with the BJP, his education came into the limelight. The allegation that the degree he mentioned in his affidavit was not valid was also discussed. Prashant Kishor also targeted Samrat Choudhary over the same issue in the last election, but the matter did not escalate and did not affect the election.
