West Bengal Political Earthquake: Suvendu Adhikari Government Confirmed | Bengal New CM

追加: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]We'll just get you that first image that comes from Lok Bhavan in Kolkata on India today. Just give me a moment as we get those images. Shuendu Adikari all set to take oath as chief minister of Bengal at the brigade parade ground at 11 uh tomorrow morning. Shuendu Adikari will be the first BJP chief minister, the first BJP government in Bengal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to attend that grand oathtaking ceremony 21st Chief Minister. But watch that image and I want to go to that image one minute uh full frame uh as BJP leaders went to meet the governor at Lok Bhavan and the BJP is taking claim to form the government in West Bengal to form the next government in West Bengal. I quickly want to cut across to Maria Shakil. Maria as the Union Home Minister Amit Sha put it this is not just about BJP getting its government in the 21st state the 21st chief minister or getting yet another state this is truly as far as the BJP is concerned the home minister puts it it's also to do with national security this is huge as far as the BJP is concerned >> yes that's right it's a border state and that's what home minister Amit Sha has been emphasizing and that's why this entire election was also about identifying each and every infiltrator and ensuring that they are ejected out of the ecosystem of the country. Um as far as today is concerned a historic day certainly for the BJP and also for Bengal. Shuendu Adikari unanimously chosen as the leader of the house, the legislature party head and he will be sworn in and soon after Shuendu Adiari and other leaders of the BJP Ben Pingal unit that includes Shamik Batacharia who is the state president and other uh union ministers like uh uh like Shukanta Majunar and also Shantanut Takur who is a member of parliament. All of them were present when they went to state claim to form the government and then the governor gave them the time which is 11:00 a.m. at brigade ground which is roughly around 5 minutes from where I am. Uh got that is where the oath taking ceremony will happen as you >> and the BJP wants to make this really big across.

[00:02:29]>> Absolutely. So tell us tell us the preparations. The prime minister will be there. Tell I'm I'm told all BJP and NDA chief ministers will be there. Tell us more about the preparations for the swearing in.

[00:02:44]>> Yes, that's right. That's the nature of preparation. something that BJP does across the country. So that you know it's keeping in with the tradition that if they win a state they make the swearing in ceremony very very grand. I think the bigger significance is of the date which has been chosen which is Rabidra Janti. It is the birth anniversary of Rabindraat Tigor the Nobel laurate. Um and hence that day signifies the message that the BJP is giving to the people of Bengal that they have got the mandate from the people.

[00:03:15]They understand the ethos and the culture of Bengal the significance of these dates and days. That's why this date becomes particularly important when Shuendo Adiari will be swn in. Of course, present will be Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has been leading this entire campaign called mission Bengal or mission Purvo there. um from the front the home minister who has been the architect of this victory other union ministers and also the chief ministers of all BJP rule states and the NDA chief ministers that includes Chandra Babu Naidu and uh you know deputy chief minister like Aknat Shindai and others who will be present tomorrow. The BJP will be showcasing this as a show of strength. This is a big victory for the party. high on symbolism but high also on the fact that the BJP right now almost has hegemonic presence across the country. It is the dominant political force in the country and no ground uh is is rejecting the BJP. This was identified catchment state several years ago.

[00:04:23]>> Several years.

[00:04:23]>> Absolutely. Ang Bang Kaling Kam that Puro that you speak of um Ang for the first time they have a BJP chief minister in Bihar Maria so ang they now have Khaling Urisa they've already got and Kamroo they are back in Assam in such a big way so that mission Purwai will only get strengthened from this point on isn't it Maria that's the game plan >> undoubtedly and interestingly the co-observer who was sent along with home minister Amit Sha is the chief minister of Urisa.

[00:04:59]>> That again is a big message here that when Shuendu Adikari was chosen as the leader of the legislative assembly, he will be the legisl legislature as far as the BJP is concerned. The person who was sent as the co-observer was the chief minister of the neighboring state, a state which has been run by the BJP only recently 2024. That's why I say uh Gorav as a BJP reporter as someone who has tracked the party for almost 15 years now that here is the party which sets new targets and they then it goes all out to achieve it. They believe in politics of patience something that has not been seen in Indian politics for decades now and this is the saffron patience which has finally frucified into this massive result and then the swearing in which will be happening tomorrow. Maria for the moment. Many thanks for joining
