SUVENDU ADHIKARI OATH CEREMONY Live Updates: PM MODI REACHES At Brigade Parade Ground Stage | Watch KOLKATA, May 9 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Kolkata’s historic Brigade Parade Ground on Saturday to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Suvendu Adhikari as the first-ever Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister of West Bengal. The ceremony marks a watershed moment in Indian politics, formalizing the end of the Trinamool Congress’s 15-year tenure following the BJP’s landslide victory of 207 seats in the 294-member assembly. Adhikari, a former aide-turned-rival of Mamata Banerjee who defeated her in the Bhabanipur constituency, took the oath administered by Governor R.N. Ravi amidst heightened security and a massive gathering of party supporters. The transition comes as the new administration vows to address post-poll instability and initiate a new era of central-state cooperation in the eastern powerhouse. #suvenduadhikari, #pmmodi, #westbengal, #kolkata, #brigadeparadeground, #bjpbengal, #bengalnews, #oathceremony, #narendramodi, #livenews, #breakingnews, #indianpolitics, #suvenduadhikarioath, #bengalelection2026, #bjpsorkar, #newbengal, #pmatbrigade, #kolkatalive
