Choudhary was administered the oath of office by the Governor Syed Ata Hasnain at a ceremony in Raj Bhavan.Top BJP leaders and alliance partners were present during the ceremony.

JD (U) MLA and state's finance minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav and minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary were also sworn in as Deputy Chief Ministers as part of the new government formation.

With Samrat Chaudhary emerging as a central figure in Bihar’s shifting political landscape, the Bharatiya Janata Party appears to have crossed a significant milestone. By most reasonable estimates, the party now directly governs or leads governments in states that together account for nearly 65–67% of India’s population, underlining the scale of its dominance.
