“A historic dawn for West Bengal indeed. It is a moment of profound pride and jubilation to welcome Visionary Leader PM Narendra Modi Ji,” Adhikari wrote.
Highlighting the significance of the moment, he said the swearing-in ceremony symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter, ending decades of what he termed “misrule” and ushering in a “Double Engine” government aimed at accelerating development, ensuring peace, and driving prosperity in the state.
Adhikari further emphasized that this milestone fulfills the long-cherished aspirations of the nation’s founding fathers and marks the official beginning of the ‘Sonar Bangla’ era — a vision of a prosperous and progressive West Bengal.
The BJP’s rise to power in West Bengal is being seen as a historic political transformation, with expectations of closer coordination between the state and the Centre under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
