Suvendu Adhikari has been elected as the new Chief Minister of West Bengal after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a majority in the recent Assembly elections. The announcement was made during a meeting attended by Amit Shah, the central observer, and 207 BJP MLAs, where Adhikari was unanimously chosen as the leader of the legislative party. His swearing-in ceremony is set for Saturday at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata. Adhikari emphasized a collective leadership approach, stating that the government would operate as a team and commit to fulfilling its election promises within a specified timeframe. He also announced plans to form a commission led by a retired judge to investigate institutionalized corruption, addressing issues from Sandeshkhali to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Amit Shah described the BJP's victory as historic, highlighting the party's growth from just one seat in 2014 to over 200 seats now, and pledged to ensure safety by eliminating infiltration and political violence in the state. Shah's remarks invoked Rabindranath Tagore, emphasizing a vision for a prosperous Bengal free from fear and corruption.
