Suvendu Adhikari is poised to make history as the first Chief Minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal, with his oath-taking ceremony scheduled for Saturday at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata. The event is expected to draw a large public gathering and high-profile attendees, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Adhikari's selection as Chief Minister was finalized during a legislative party meeting chaired by Shah, where he was unanimously endorsed by newly elected BJP MLAs. His political ascent was marked by his victory in the 2021 Assembly elections, notably defeating former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram. This ceremony marks a pivotal moment in West Bengal's political landscape, as the BJP prepares to form its first government in the state since Independence, concluding weeks of speculation following the Assembly election results declared on May 4.
