Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged all opposition parties to unite against the BJP after Suvendu Adhikari took oath as the State’s first BJP Chief Minister. Addressing supporters in Kolkata, Mamata described the BJP as the “first enemy” and appealed to Left parties, student groups, and national opposition forces to form a joint platform. Her remarks came after the BJP ended the Trinamool Congress’s 15-year rule in West Bengal with a historic Assembly election victory. The political battle in Bengal is expected to intensify further as opposition parties prepare strategies to counter the BJP’s growing influence in the State. (PC: PTI)
