Narendra Modi and Amit Shah are likely to attend the oath ceremony of Bharatiya Janata Party’s first government in West Bengal on May 9 at Brigade Parade Ground. The event coincides with Rabindra Jayanti, adding cultural symbolism. The timing is seen as a strategic move to align the party with Bengal’s cultural identity and counter narratives of being an outsider force. The ceremony marks a historic political shift, with the BJP forming government in the state for the first time after its decisive electoral victory. (PC: X)
