Suvendu Adhikari to Take Oath as West Bengal Chief Minister Today

Kolkata. A new chapter is being added to the politics of West Bengal today. Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari is scheduled to take oath as the Chief Minister of West Bengal at 11 AM today.

He will take the oath of office and secrecy in a special ceremony organized at Kolkata's historic Brigade Parade Ground. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and other top leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are arriving in Kolkata to attend this grand ceremony.

Earlier, at a legislative party meeting held at Kolkata's Convention Center on Friday, Adhikari was unanimously elected leader. After the meeting, Home Minister Amit Shah officially announced his name. Immediately after being elected leader, Adhikari met the Governor at Lok Bhavan and staked his claim to form the government.

Extensive preparations have been made at Brigade Parade Ground to make the oath-taking ceremony historic. Considering the possibility of rain, waterproof tents have been erected on the ground, and the entire pandal has been decorated with a Bengal theme, reflecting the original art and culture of Bengal.

 Special stalls of Bengal's famous sweets Rasbari and Jhalmuri have also been set up for the guests and supporters attending the ceremony. Approximately one lakh people are estimated to participate in the program.

More than 4,000 security personnel have been deployed to ensure tight security.
