BJP names Suvendu Adhikari West Bengal chief minister
Suvendu Adhikari, a former aide of Mamata Banerjee, has been chosen as the next chief minister of West Bengal by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP won a landslide victory in the state elections, ending 15 years of rule by Banerjee's All India Trinamool Congress (TMC). Adhikari's rise to power is marked by his controversial political career and his shift from a close ally of Banerjee to a leading figure within the BJP. He will now face challenges including post-election violence, economic concerns, and deep political divisions in the state.
