On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) officially took power in West Bengal for the first time, marking a pivotal moment in the state's political landscape. Modi highlighted Mookerjee's significant contributions to both the nation and West Bengal, stating, "No stone will be left unturned to fulfil his vision." The swearing-in ceremony of Suvendu Adhikari as Chief Minister took place at Kolkata's Brigade Parade Grounds, ending a 15-year reign of the Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee. Alongside Adhikari, five other BJP leaders were sworn in as cabinet ministers. The ceremony, held on the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, attracted key BJP figures, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The BJP has consistently invoked Mookerjee's legacy in its campaigns, positioning him as a figure of Bengali pride and nationalism.
