The Bihar cabinet shake-up has brought a major change in the state’s power structure. For the first time, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has not kept the Home Department. This important department now belongs to Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary. This move marks a big shift in Bihar politics, and the Bihar cabinet shake-up has quickly become a major headline.
Samrat Chaudhary now handles the Home Department, which gives him control over police, intelligence, and jail administration. As Home Minister, he oversees major crime cases like mob lynching, mass murders, election-related violence, and high-profile investigations. He can directly monitor these cases and issue quick decisions.
He also leads the drafting of key laws such as the Police Act, Jail Manual, Riot Control Act, and Mafia Property Confiscation Act. All these laws come under his supervision.
The state’s intelligence network also functions under him. Reports about riots, VIP movements, and security alerts reach him first. He plays a major role in planning security for festivals like Chhath, Kanwar Yatra, and Bakrid.
Samrat Chaudhary approves VIP security plans and manages the entire prison system. He controls crime prevention, police operations, and internal security, strengthening law and order across Bihar.
