Suvendu Adhikari Visits Kalighat Temple After Taking Oath as West Bengal Chief Minister
Bengal’s first BJP Chief Minister seeks blessings at Kalighat temple hours after assuming office
After taking charge as the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari appeared in a saffron-themed public appearance on Saturday and visited the famous Kalighat Kali Temple to seek the blessings of Goddess Kali.
Suvendu Adhikari has become the first leader from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to assume the post of Chief Minister in West Bengal, marking a major political shift in the state’s history. Soon after taking oath, the newly elected Chief Minister reached the Kalighat temple, where he offered prayers and participated in rituals amid tight security and the presence of supporters.
The visit is being viewed as a symbolic start to his tenure, with saffron colours dominating the visuals during his public appearance. BJP supporters gathered in large numbers outside the temple and celebrated the party’s historic victory in the state.
Within hours of the swearing-in ceremony, the nameplate of “Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari” was installed inside the West Bengal Assembly, signaling the formal beginning of the new administration.
Political observers believe Adhikari’s rise to the top post reflects a dramatic transformation in Bengal politics. The BJP leader had emerged as one of the key faces of the party during the assembly elections and played a crucial role in the party’s campaign across the state.
The new government is expected to announce its policy priorities and cabinet responsibilities in the coming days.
