In Kolkata, the stage is set for a pivotal moment in West Bengal politics as the BJP legislature party arrives for its crucial meeting to formally elect the state’s next chief minister. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is slated to be present, underscoring the significance of the session as the party prepares to consolidate its historic win and begin a new governance chapter in the state. Suvendu Adhikari has emerged as the frontrunner for the top job after steering the party to victory in key constituencies, including a hold in Nandigram and the recent win in Bhabanipur, which analysts say signal a major political realignment in the state that had long been under the Trinamool Congress.
