Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel participated in the swearing-in ceremony of the newly appointed Chief Minister of West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, the release said.

He extended heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the newly appointed West Bengal Chief Minister by presenting him with a bouquet of flowers.

The Chief Minister expressed happiness that under the visionary leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all BJP-ruled states are establishing new dimensions of development, good governance, and public welfare, and that West Bengal has now also joined this journey of development.

He also conveyed his heartfelt wishes that West Bengal attains new heights on the path of development, peace, good governance, and prosperity.

The comments came after Suvendu Adhikari today took oath as the state's first BJP Chief Minister, marking an end to 15 years of TMC rule.

Five BJP leaders, Dilip Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul, Ashok Kirtania, Kshudiram Tudu and Nisith Pramanik, also took oath as ministers in the West Bengal cabinet.

Various Chief Ministers, including Manik Saha (Tripura), Himanta Biswa Sarma (Assam), Rekha Gupta (Delhi), Pushkar Dhami (Uttarakhand), and several other leaders were also present.

Following the swearing-in ceremony, the Prime Minister also met the families of slain BJP workers Debasish Mondal, Soumitra Ghoshal and Ananda Paul.

Adhikari was sworn in as the 9th Chief Minister of West Bengal by Governor RN Ravi at a grand ceremony in Kolkata attended by Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and several senior BJP leaders.

The BJP secured a historic victory in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, winning 207 seats and ending the Trinamool Congress's 15-year rule in the state. The TMC secured 80 seats in the elections.

Adhikari had defeated former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur by over 15,000 votes and also retained the Nandigram Assembly seat.

I'm from Kolkata and this is a historic moment. After 15 years of TMC's corruption and violence, people chose change. BJP winning 207 seats shows Bengal wants development, not just politics. Let's hope Suvendu Adhikari delivers on his promises! 🙏

Interesting to see all BJP chief ministers attending the ceremony. It shows the party's strength and unity. But I hope Adhikari focuses on Bengal's unique issues like industrialisation and minority welfare, not just follow the national agenda blindly.

PM Modi meeting families of slain BJP workers is a nice touch. It shows the party values its workers who suffered under TMC rule. But governance in Bengal will be a challenge—the TMC still has 80 seats and a strong base. Let's see how BJP handles the opposition.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Suvendu Adhikari was in TMC for decades before joining BJP. Can he really bring change? Also, 207 seats is a huge majority but we need to see if development actually happens or it's just more politics. Let's wait and watch! 🤔

Great to see Gujarat CM participating! Gujarat's development model is well-known, and Bengal can learn a lot. But I hope the new government doesn't ignore Bengal's cultural heritage and intellectual traditions. Development should not come at the cost of identity.
