Deputy CM, Bihar
Vijay Sinha biography
Vijay Kumar Sinha is the new deputy chief minister of Bihar. He alongwith Samrat Chaudhary have been elected as two deputies of the CM Nitish Kumar on January 28, 2024. Nitish Kumar has dumped the Mahagathbandhan again and joined hands with the BJP.
A Bhumihar leader, an engineer by qualification and a dedicated RSS worker, Vijay Sinha is the BJP’s first-ever Bihar Speaker. He was a surprise choice for the post, and believed to have been picked essentially to keep the upper caste leadership of the party happy.
In one instance of tension between them, Nitish had taken exception to Sinha omitting his name in the invitations sent out to mark anniversary celebrations of the Bihar Vidhan Sabha. As per JD(U) sources, that was one of the triggers for Nitish to end his alliance with the BJP.
