Can Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary survive the simmering BJP-RSS dissatisfaction?

Internal discontent within the BJP-RSS framework is gathering steam over Samrat Choudhary’s leadership in Bihar. The state unit is increasingly splintering into rival factions, with detractors questioning the Chief Minister’s political temperament, sensitivity, and leadership style. Party insiders argue that Choudhary— viewed by traditional cadres as a 'parachuted CM' shaped by the transition from former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar—jeopardises the party’s primary objective of securing a standalone majority in the assembly. As ideological purists and rival camps push back aggressively, the mounting internal churn threatens both Choudhary’s authority and the party’s long-term roadmap.
