Q1. Consider the following statements about the strength of the Bihar Vidhan Sabha after the political transition of 14 April 2026: 1. The Bihar Vidhan Sabha has 243 elected seats. 2. The Bharatiya Janata Party is the single largest party in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha with 89 MLAs after this transition. 3. With the elevation of Samrat Choudhary, this becomes the first instance in Bihar's history of a BJP-led government. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Explanation
All three statements are correct. The Bihar Vidhan Sabha has 243 elected members. The BJP is the single largest party with 89 MLAs after the 14 April 2026 transition. While the BJP has been part of NDA coalitions in Bihar since 2005 (with brief interruptions in 2013-2017 and 2022-2024), Samrat Choudhary's elevation as CM marks the first time the party itself holds the chief ministership of Bihar.
