"I want development for the next generation": Prosenjit Chatterjee after BJP forms government in West Bengal

Actor Prosenjit Chatterjee expresses hope for development, business growth, and the next generation after BJP forms government in West Bengal.

"I want development for the next generation, businesses to grow, we vote with a lot of hope, that must be fulfilled. - Prosenjit Chatterjee"

Kolkata, May 12

Actor Prosenjit Chatterjee on Tuesday expressed hope in the development of West Bengal after the BJP-led government came to power in the state after the historic assembly elections.

While talking to the media on the formation of the new government and political developments in the state, actor Prosenjit said, "There is a lot of talent here across sectors. I want development for the next generation, businesses to grow, we vote with a lot of hope, that must be fulfilled."

The remarks came after senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari took oath as West Bengal's first BJP Chief Minister, marking a historic political transition in the state after the Bharatiya Janata Party secured a sweeping victory in the Assembly elections.

Along with Ghosh, BJP leaders Agnimitra Paul, Ashok Kirtania, Kshudiram Tudu and Nisith Pramanik were sworn in as ministers in the new cabinet.

The grand oath-taking ceremony in Kolkata was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Former BJP national president JP Nadda, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami were also present.

The BJP scripted history in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections by winning 207 seats, ending the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress, which managed to secure only 80 seats. Adhikari further strengthened his position by winning both the high-profile Bhabanipur and Nandigram constituencies.

According to Election Commission figures, he defeated former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur by 15,105 votes. The election also witnessed record voter participation, with polling percentages crossing 92 per cent across the first two phases, making it one of the highest turnouts in the state since independence.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Prosenjit Chatterjee has always been a thoughtful voice. But let's not forget - development is more than just throwing around slogans. The BJP needs to fix the broken infrastructure and create real jobs, not just political appointments. Let's see.

Interesting times for Bengal. As an outsider looking in, it's remarkable how the political landscape has shifted. Prosenjit's comments about wanting development for the next generation resonate universally - it's what every parent wants. Hope the new leadership delivers.

Prosenjit da is a legend, but I'm worried about the communal undertones. Development is important, but at what cost? We need to ensure that Bengal's syncretic culture and diversity are preserved. The BJP must prove they can govern without dividing people. 🤔

Record 92% voter turnout shows people wanted change. Mamata Banerjee's 15-year rule ended because of corruption and violence. Prosenjit's call for development is spot on - now the real work begins. Hope Suvendu Adhikari delivers on promises of good governance.

As a Kolkata resident, I'm tired of celeb endorsements of politicians. Prosenjit is a talented actor but why does his opinion on governance matter? Let's focus on actual policies - the new CM needs to address the education crisis and industry exodus first. Actions speak louder than star power.
