"Will fulfil commitment for organisation and public": Bengal BJP Legislative Party leader Suvendu Adhikari

Suvendu Adhikari, elected West Bengal BJP Legislative Party leader, vows to fulfill party’s election commitments. He thanks Amit Shah and PM Modi.

"We will fulfil the commitment of the BJP made during elections for the organisation and the public. - Suvendu Adhikari"

Kolkata, May 8

West Bengal BJP Legislative Party leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party will fulfil all commitments made during the Assembly elections in the state, asserting that the party remains committed to both organisational goals and public welfare.

Speaking to reporters, Adhikari expressed gratitude to BJP national president Nitin Nabin and Union Home Minister Amit Shah after being elected as the Leader of the Legislative Party in West Bengal.

"I express gratitude to the national president, to Amit Shah. With the blessings of the Prime Minister, I have been elected as the Leader of the Legislative Party. I have received support from all MLAs. There is democracy in the BJP. We will fulfil the commitment of the BJP made during elections for the organisation and the public," he said.

The remark came after Adhikari was elected the BJP Legislative Party Leader for the party in West Bengal, paving the way for him to become the first BJP Chief Minister in the history of the state.

The announcement was made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is serving as the Central Observer for the election of the legislative party leader, after chairing a party meeting in Kolkata on Friday.

"I announce the name of Suvendu Adhikari elected as Leader of West Bengal BJP Legislative Party," Shah, the Central Observer for the election of the legislative party leader in West Bengal, said.

Adhikari is scheduled to take the oath on Saturday, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

Following his election, he also met newly elected BJP MLAs and senior party leaders in Kolkata as part of organisational discussions ahead of government formation.

Adhikari contested from Nandigram and Bhabanipur, defeating outgoing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from Bhabanipur by a margin of over 15,000 votes, marking a major political development in the state.

In the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, the BJP secured 207 seats, while the Trinamool Congress (TMC) won 80 seats after ruling the state for 15 years.

Good for democracy! Finally, a change in Bengal after 15 years. But I worry about polarization. The BJP needs to work for all communities, not just divide people. Let’s hope Adhikari keeps his word about public welfare. 🤞

Suvendu Adhikari is a clever strategist. He left TMC at the right time and now he’s the CM candidate. But I’m skeptical—he was Mamata’s close aide once. Will he stay loyal to BJP or switch again? Only time will tell. Bengal needs stability, not drama.

Great to see BJP forming government in Bengal! But I hope they focus on real issues—infrastructure, healthcare, and education in rural areas. The last government ignored villages. Also, please don’t forget the cultural richness of Bengal. Rabindranath Tagore’s birth anniversary is a good start for the oath ceremony.

Interesting to see this from an outsider’s perspective (I’m from Canada). West Bengal’s political shift seems significant. I hope Adhikari’s promises are kept—accountability is key. The margin in Bhabanipur (15,000 votes) suggests people want change. Let’s watch how governance unfolds.

Suvendu Adhikari winning from two seats is impressive, but I’m concerned about how he’ll handle the opposition. Mamata Banerjee is a strong figure. As a Bengali woman, I hope he respects women’s safety and rights. BJP should stay away from divisive rhetoric. Let’s give them
