West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced that the state will align with the Ayushman Bharat health insurance program starting today. This decision was made during the first cabinet meeting of the newly formed BJP government, which aims to integrate various central welfare schemes into the state's governance. The cabinet approved six significant decisions, including providing social security to families affected by political violence and transferring land to the Border Security Force (BSF) for border management, which is expected to be completed within 45 days. Additionally, the state will implement several central schemes such as the PM Jan Arogya Yojana and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao as part of the BJP's “double-engine growth plan.” A major legal shift includes adopting the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, replacing older criminal laws. Adhikari also announced the commencement of a population census to update administrative records. The cabinet meeting emphasized the government's commitment to transparent governance and the safety of citizens.
