After a strong showing in West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party is yet to name its chief minister. The decision will show the party’s next step in the state. During the campaign, Amit Shah said the CM would be a “Bengali”. Leaders also spoke about cultural issues to counter rivals. The party did not project a face before polls and relied on Narendra Modi’s campaign. Names in discussion include Suvendu Adhikari and Samik Bhattacharya. Women leaders like Agnimitra Paul and Roopa Ganguly are also seen as possible choices. (PC: India Today)
