The round of meetings and brainstorming continues within the party. Meanwhile, reports are coming out that the leader of the opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, can be made the chief minister.

Can two deputy CMs also be made in Bengal?

There is also a strong discussion in the political circles that this time BJP can adopt the formula of making two deputy chief ministers in Bengal. The party is trying to give balanced representation to different regions and communities.

Although no official name has been announced yet, the talks regarding the inner cabinet are said to have progressed well. The BJP leadership wants that a strong and balanced message should be given with the formation of the new government.

Why is Suvendu Adhikari's name being considered at the forefront?

Suvendu Adhikari emerged as one of the biggest faces of BJP in this election. He adopted aggressive tactics during the election campaign and took charge of many big rallies.

The most talked-about thing was when he defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from Bhawanipur seat. Since then, the demand among party workers to make him the chief minister kept increasing.

Why did tension increase in Bengal before government formation?

Even before the formation of the new government, the politics of Bengal is on the boil. On one hand, preparations for the swearing-in are going on, on the other hand, the murder of Chandranath Rath, a close aide of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, has made the entire atmosphere tense. BJP is directly linking this murder to political violence and there is an atmosphere of anger in the party.

When and where will the swearing-in ceremony take place?

According to reports, the swearing-in ceremony of the new BJP government is going to be held today at the historic Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata.

Many big leaders of BJP including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, are attending this function. The party is seeing this not just as an oath-taking ceremony but as the beginning of a new chapter in Bengal politics.
