Bengal New CM 2026: This time a big upheaval was seen in the politics of West Bengal. Bharatiya Janata Party created history by winning 207 seats, while All India Trinamool Congress was limited to only 80 seats. After the defeat of TMC which was in power for 15 years, now everyone’s eyes are on the new Chief Minister of Bengal. To put it in desi style, “Now the real game of chair has started.”

Final approval will be given in Amit Shah’s meeting

Today Union Home Minister Amit Shah will hold the legislative party meeting in Kolkata. The name of the new Chief Minister can be announced in this meeting. BJP is forming the government in Bengal for the first time, hence the party wants to bet on a face who has a strong hold on both the organization and the public.

Suvendu Adhikari at the forefront

Suvendu Adhikari is considered to be the strongest name in the race for Chief Minister. He directly challenged Mamata Banerjee in two consecutive elections and won big. He has been recognized as the biggest face of BJP in Bengal. Political experts believe that the image of “the leader who defeated Didi” can benefit him.

Dilip Ghosh and Samik Bhattacharya also in the race

The name of former state president Dilip Ghosh is also in discussion. He has played a big role in strengthening BJP in Bengal. At the same time, the current state president Samik Bhattacharya is also considered a strong leader of the organization. The party has registered election victory under his leadership.
