Kolkata, 6 May. For the first time in the political history of West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government will be sworn in on May 9. BJP’s West Bengal unit chief Samik Bhattacharya gave this information on Wednesday.

Samik Bhattacharya said that the swearing-in ceremony will be held at the Brigade Parade Ground in central Kolkata at 10 am. However, it is not yet decided who will be the next Chief Minister of Bengal. The leader will be selected in the BJP Legislature Party meeting, who will be administered the oath of office as Chief Minister. There is speculation that only the most popular BJP leader in the state, Subhendu Adhikari, who defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by more than 15 thousand votes in Bhawanipur seat, can take oath as CM.
