The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to take oath for the new government in West Bengal on May 9, coinciding with Rabindra Jayanti, the birth anniversary of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. This date is seen as a symbol of a new beginning for the state, as the BJP aims to conclude over forty-five years of governance by the Left and the Trinamool Congress. BJP State President Samik Bhattacharya confirmed the date, which was also hinted at by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his campaign rally in Barrackpore. Modi expressed confidence in attending the oath-taking ceremony after the election results on May 4. The significance of May 9 extends beyond politics, as it is a day celebrated for Tagore's contributions to Bengali culture, making the event resonate deeply with the state's identity. Preparations for the ceremony are already in motion, with official announcements expected soon.
