Suvendu Becomes BJP’s First ‘Adhikari’ in Bengal, Grand Oath Ceremony in Kolkata Today

Kolkata: On Friday, a meeting of newly elected BJP MLAs was held at Vishwa Bangla Convention Center in New Town. When Subhendu Adhikari's name came up, all the MLAs unanimously supported him; no other name came up. Union Home Minister Amit Shah was also present in this meeting. After the meeting, Shah said, "The party has chosen its leader in a completely democratic manner."

Why did BJP choose Shubhendu?

Shubhendu Adhikari is the name who, living on the soil of Bengal, gave a direct challenge to Mamata Banerjee. It is believed within the party that he has a big role in strengthening the BJP in Bengal. He is not just a leader but a fighting face who goes out into the field and fights. That is why the party leadership expressed confidence in him and handed over the responsibility of the state on his shoulders.

How was the atmosphere in Bengal after the elections?

After the results, the politics of Bengal remained very heated. BJP got a clear majority, but Trinamool Congress raised questions on the results. There was confusion regarding government formation for a few days. Now with the swearing-in, the new government will formally take over and it is expected that this period of political turmoil will come to an end.

Why is the oath ceremony so special?

The BJP has chosen the Brigade Parade Ground for this historic occasion, and this is not just a swearing-in ceremony but a major display of party strength. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several Union ministers and chief ministers of BJP-ruled states can attend it. Thousands of BJP workers and supporters from across the state are reaching Kolkata. The party is considering it as a celebration of its biggest political victory in Bengal.

What message did Amit Shah give before the oath?

On Friday morning, Amit Shah paid obeisance at the Dakshineshwar Kali temple and then went straight to the legislature party meeting. BJP leaders say that the new government of Bengal will keep development and law and order on top. This means that there will be change not only in power but also in thinking.

This Saturday is being seen as the beginning of a new chapter in Bengal politics where, after a long wait, BJP is seeing its dream fulfilled.
