West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari meets Vice President
New Delhi, May 22
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari called on Vice President CP Radhakrishnan on Friday.
He also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed gratitude for his warm wishes and "unwavering commitment to the progress" of West Bengal.
"Honoured and privileged to have met our respected Prime Minister; Shri @narendramodi Ji, in New Delhi today. This marks my first Official Meeting with Hon'ble PM since assuming the responsibility of serving the People of West Bengal as the Chief Minister," Adhikari said in a post on X.
"I extend my deepest gratitude to Hon'ble PM for his warm wishes and above all, for his unwavering commitment to the progress of our State. During our fruitful discussion, Hon'ble Prime Minister reemphasized his vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and reiterated that the development of West Bengal remains a top priority for the Central Government," he added.
Adhikari said the new government in Bengal will usher in double-engine growth with help from the Centre.
"I am incredibly thankful to him for assuring all possible help, guidance, and Central Support to rescue West Bengal from years of stagnation and place it firmly on the fast track of economic growth, industrial revival and youth empowerment," he said.
"With the blessings of the Centre and the trust of the People, we are ready to usher in a new era of double-engine growth, transparent governance, and holistic development for West Bengal," he added.

Sir, we have heard these promises before. Let the development actually reach the villages of North Bengal first. Our roads are still broken and youth are jobless. Please focus on ground reality and not just photo ops in Delhi. 🙏
It's refreshing to see a Bengali CM working collaboratively with PM Modi. "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" - this is the spirit we need. Mamata's confrontational approach only held Bengal back. Ab toh West Bengal ka time aayega! 🚀
Ek baar toh hum log bhi dekhein ki Delhi se support milne se kya hota hai. Previous government always blamed Centre for everything. Now let's see if Suvendu Adhikari can deliver on industrial revival. Actions speak louder than words, sir.
As someone who moved from Bengal to Bangalore for work, I'm cautiously optimistic. The double-engine rhetoric sounds promising, but I want to see actual investments coming in. The state has immense potential in IT and manufacturing if handled properly.
Happy to see a Bengali CM being respected nationally. But I hope this isn't just about politics. The common man in Bengal needs better healthcare, education, and jobs. Make Bengal great again, but please start with the basics. 😊
