The swearing-in ceremony of the new BJP government in West Bengal is set to take place on Saturday, May 9, at the iconic Brigade Parade Ground. Preparations for the grand event are in full swing, with senior party leaders overseeing arrangements ahead of the formal assumption of power.

 

A day prior to the ceremony, a crucial meeting of newly elected BJP legislators will be held on Friday evening in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. It is during this meeting that the leader of the BJP legislative party is expected to be formally elected, effectively deciding the Chief Ministerial face.

 

As part of the preparations, BJP state president Samik Bhattacharya visited Nabanna, the state secretariat, earlier in the day to finalise the blueprint for the ceremony. Speaking to the media before entering the state administrative headquarters, Bhattacharya outlined the party’s stance on key issues, particularly law and order.

 

Taking a firm position on reports of post-poll unrest from various parts of the state, he said that the incoming government would adopt a zero-tolerance approach.

 

“Post-poll violence will not be tolerated under any circumstances. The administration must function impartially and ensure that peace is maintained,” he stated, indicating a strict approach toward maintaining stability.

 

Bhattacharya also addressed concerns regarding the internal functioning of the party, making it clear that the BJP would not allow what he termed as the “Trinamoolisation” of its structure. The remark underscores the party leadership’s intent to guard against the influence of leaders and workers who have defected from rival parties, particularly the TMC.

 

According to party sources, this issue is likely to be discussed in detail during Friday’s legislators’ meeting, as the BJP seeks to consolidate its organisational discipline alongside its electoral gains.

 

With the leadership decision expected imminently and the swearing-in ceremony just hours away, the focus remains on how the BJP will shape its governance approach while maintaining internal cohesion as it prepares to take charge in West Bengal.
