Suvendu Adhikari, the newly appointed Chief Minister of West Bengal from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), declared that the government will not discontinue welfare initiatives such as the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, which was launched by the previous Trinamool Congress administration led by Mamata Banerjee. During a cabinet meeting, Adhikari emphasized that all ongoing beneficiary schemes will continue. The meeting also addressed the transfer of land to the Border Security Force (BSF) for fencing along the Bangladesh border, a key issue in the BJP's campaign. Adhikari's government aims to complete this transfer within 45 days. The BJP's recent electoral success marks a significant shift in West Bengal politics, as they secured 207 seats in the Assembly elections, ending a 15-year dominance by the Trinamool Congress. Adhikari, who previously served as a senior leader in the Trinamool, has also made serious allegations against the former administration regarding governance issues.
