Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the Chief Minister of West Bengal after the BJP's historic victory in the 2026 Assembly elections, which ended the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress. His father, Sisir Adhikari, a former Union minister, expressed immense pride in his son's political achievements and stated that Suvendu has been politically active since his college days. Sisir outlined immediate priorities for the new government, including the expulsion of illegal immigrants and the promotion of nationalist ideals. He criticized former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claiming she lacks political acumen. Suvendu Adhikari's election signifies a political reset in West Bengal, with a vision for a 'Sonar Bangla' era aimed at development and prosperity. The swearing-in ceremony was attended by prominent leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking a significant moment in the state's political landscape.
