Suvendu Adhikari took oath as the ninth Chief Minister of West Bengal in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and other top BJP leaders at Kolkata’s Brigade Parade Ground.
Kolkata : Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the ninth Chief Minister of West Bengal on Saturday at a grand ceremony held at Kolkata’s Brigade Parade Ground. Governor RN Ravi administered the oath of office in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP president Nitin Nabin and several Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled states. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was also present at the high-profile event.
Along with Suvendu Adhikari, BJP MLAs Dilip Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul, Ashok Kirtaniya, Nisith Pramanik and Khudiram Tudu took oath as ministers in the new cabinet. Since early morning, large crowds of BJP workers and supporters gathered at the Brigade Parade Ground to witness the swearing-in ceremony of the new government.
Earlier in the day, Suvendu Adhikari welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Kolkata airport. The two leaders later travelled together by helicopter to the Racecourse before heading to Brigade Parade Ground by road. Adhikari, accompanied by Prime Minister Modi and West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya, greeted supporters from an open-top vehicle before reaching the main stage.
In the recently concluded Assembly elections, Suvendu Adhikari emerged victorious from both Nandigram and Bhabanipur constituencies. On Friday, he was elected as the leader of the BJP legislative party during a meeting of party MLAs. Union Home Minister Amit Shah later formally announced Adhikari’s name as the new Chief Minister of West Bengal.
Political observers believe the swearing-in of the BJP-led government marks the beginning of a new chapter in West Bengal politics, as the party assumes power in the state for the first time.
