On May 9 in Kolkata, a new era in West Bengal politics began when BJP legislative party leader Shuvendu Adhikari took oath as the Chief Minister of the state. Governor R.N.
Ravi administered the oath of office and secrecy. The grand ceremony, held at the historic Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, was attended by several prominent leaders from across the country, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. The ground resonated with the cheers of millions of supporters present.
Shuvendu Adhikari's path to becoming Chief Minister was paved on Friday when he was unanimously elected as the leader during a meeting of newly elected legislators chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The party leadership entrusted him with the state's command, expressing confidence in his deep influence in Bengal's grassroots politics and organizational capability. Amit Shah announced his name, describing it as a decisive step towards the development of Bengal and the resolution of 'Sonar Bangla'.
The oath-taking ceremony was also attended by leaders of NDA allied parties and several Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled states, which is seen as a significant show of strength by the party. Political analysts believe that the presence of top leadership at the oath-taking ceremony indicates the importance of this government, which has been formed for the first time in West Bengal, to the central government. Upon assuming the responsibilities of Chief Minister, Shuvendu Adhikari stated that law and order and economic reforms would be his priorities in the state.
