Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced a special initiative to scrutinize the identities of approximately 22 lakh residents as part of a drive to identify infiltrators. This move follows the deletion of names during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. Choudhary expressed his commitment to governance inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, aiming for substantial investments worth ₹5 lakh crore by November 2026 to boost the state's economy. He dismissed claims of a financial crisis and stated that prohibition would remain in place, with a focus on combating illegal liquor trade, particularly spurious alcohol that has led to tragedies in the past. The CM highlighted the need for effective local governance, encouraging District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police to monitor complaints directly. Furthermore, he announced plans to enhance educational infrastructure by allowing more colleges and universities and potentially reserving 25% of seats in private medical colleges for government students. Choudhary aims to develop 15 towns in Bihar with modern facilities to improve living standards.
