BJP Begins West Bengal CM Selection
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to meet the newly elected BJP MLAs as the party moves to finalise its Chief Ministerial choice. The legislature party meeting is a key step before the BJP formally stakes claim to form the next government.
Swearing-In Set For May 9
The new West Bengal Chief Minister is scheduled to take oath on May 9 at Brigade Parade Ground. The venue is politically significant, as it has hosted several major rallies and mass gatherings in the state’s political history.
BJP Forms First Bengal Government
The BJP’s victory marks its first government formation in West Bengal. The result ended the Trinamool Congress’ long rule in the state and gave the party a major political breakthrough in eastern India.

After the Chief Minister is elected, attention will shift to cabinet formation and early governance priorities. The new BJP government is expected to move quickly on law and order, administrative restructuring and election promises made during the campaign.
