BJP's Samrat Choudhary, who is set to become Bihar CM as Nitish Kumar resigned, once vowed to wear saffron turban until Nitish was dethroned. He took the vow after Nitish re-abandoned the BJP-led NDA government in 2022, a move that led to collapse of the state government. At the time, Choudhary had just been elevated as BJP's Bihar unit president.
