In a significant administrative transition, the chair used by Mamata Banerjee (former Chief Minister of West Bengal) for the past 15 years has been moved to the room of the opposition leader following Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as the new Chief Minister. This relocation occurred on Friday night and is part of the formal procedures that accompany a change in government. A senior official confirmed that Adhikari will not use Banerjee's chair, and a separate seat has been arranged for him in the chief minister's chamber. The nameplate outside Banerjee's chamber has also been removed, with a new one bearing Adhikari's name now installed. This room has historically served as the chamber for several past chief ministers, and the changes reflect the formal transition of administrative authority within the West Bengal Assembly.
