The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will officially take oath to form the new government in West Bengal on May 9, aligning with the birth anniversary of renowned poet Rabindranath Tagore. Suvendu Adhikari, who notably defeated Mamata Banerjee, the convenor of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), in Bhabanipur by over 15,105 votes, is a leading contender for the chief ministerial position. The BJP achieved a significant victory in the recent state assembly elections, winning 206 seats, while the TMC managed to secure only 81 seats. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the oath-taking ceremony, as confirmed by state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya. The TMC, which has been in power since 2011, previously ousted the 34-year-long Left Front regime, but the BJP aims to replace it this time around. The state elections were conducted in two phases on April 23 and April 29.
