West Bengal is preparing for a historic political transition as the BJP finalised government formation after securing a sweeping Assembly election victory. Senior BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, are expected to attend the May 9 swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. Suvendu Adhikari emerged as the frontrunner and was later chosen as the BJP legislature party leader, paving the way for him to become West Bengal’s first BJP Chief Minister. The development follows Governor RN Ravi dissolving the Assembly after the BJP’s landslide victory over the Trinamool Congress, ending the party’s 15-year rule in the state. (PC: NDTV)
