Kolkata: Following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) reported victory in West Bengal, preparations for the formation of the new state government are gaining momentum. Sources indicate that the party is considering holding the swearing-in ceremony before May 10, possibly on May 9, which coincides with the birth anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore.

Key Leadership Meeting in Delhi

Senior BJP leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari, Samik Bhattacharya, Bhupender Yadav, Sunil Bansal, Biplab Deb, and Biplab Mallick, are expected to meet in Delhi soon. The meeting, likely to take place either late tonight or tomorrow, will involve detailed discussions with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other top party leaders on cabinet formation and future political strategies.

Balancing Cultural and Political Significance

The party is reportedly planning the swearing-in ceremony with attention to Bengal’s cultural heritage and public sentiment. The choice of May 9 as a tentative date is seen as symbolic, linking the political event to the celebration of Tagore’s legacy, aiming for an auspicious and culturally significant start to the new government.
