In a historic shift, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has installed its first chief minister, Suvendu Adhikari, in West Bengal following a significant electoral victory where they secured 207 out of 294 seats. The oath-taking ceremony occurred at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, attended by key figures such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other national leaders. Adhikari's victory is notable as he defeated the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur, marking the end of nearly 50 years of TMC and Left rule in the state. However, Banerjee has alleged that her party's defeat was due to a conspiracy rather than a public mandate, claiming that TMC workers faced violence and were barred from counting centers. The Election Commission has rejected these allegations, asserting that the election process was conducted fairly. The assembly was dissolved on May 7, allowing the new government to take office.
