Kolkata, May 8: Suvendu Adhikari, who is set to become the next Chief Minister of West Bengal, was elected as the leader of the BJP legislative party on Friday. In a conversation with the media, Adhikari expressed his gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP National President Nitin Gadkari.
Adhikari stated, “It is with the blessings of Prime Minister Modi that I have been elected as the leader of the legislative party.” He emphasized that there is democracy within the BJP and that all legislators have shown their support for him.
Newly elected legislators from Bengal, who won their seats on BJP tickets, also welcomed Adhikari’s decision to become the Chief Minister. Newly elected MLA Ashok Dinda remarked, “I have been closely observing him since 2021, and even before that, I knew him. He is someone who travels for 14-15 hours by road. He has fiercely contested against the TMC and has defeated Mamata Banerjee twice. The movements he led in the assembly as the leader of the opposition were remarkable. The leader of the opposition is now about to become the Chief Minister. Congratulations to him.”
He added, “Suvendu Dada will take Bengal forward; I pray to God that under his leadership, Bengal becomes Sonar Bangla.”
Another newly elected MLA, Dibyendu Adhikari, stated that the BJP is the world’s largest political party. He mentioned that their National President, Home Minister, and Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Chandra Majhi were sent here as representatives. “Our Dilip Ghosh was the first to propose Suvendu Adhikari’s name for Chief Minister, which was later supported by nine members of the house,” he said.
Agnimitra Paul commented on Adhikari’s fighting spirit, stating that there could be no better alternative given the way he has struggled both inside and outside the assembly during this election.
