Kolkata: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Suvendu Adhikari vowed to restore the Bengali pride in his first address after being named as the Chief Minister of Bengal. Guaranteeing to fulfill all the promises made by his party, Adhikari said that his government will form a panel to probe TMC's corruption.

‘We'll Fulfill Every Promise'

The West Bengal CM designate assured the people that his government and organisation will remain committed to the ideology of the party and to the cultural spirit of West Bengal.

“Our leader Narendra Modi has given several guarantees, and the Bharatiya Janata Party government will work to fulfil every one of them. We do not believe in mere words; the Bharatiya Janata Party believes in delivering through action. We speak less and work more,” he added.

“We will fulfil every promise made in our manifesto within the stipulated time,” Suvendu Adhikari reiterated.

Suvendu Adhikari further stated that all party workers are united with the ideology of BJP and want a Bengal that is free from fear.

"From West Bengal BJP workers to party colleagues across states like Assam, Himachal Pradesh, and others, every worker is united with the ideology of the party. Those who are with us in this journey are aligned with our ideological path. As said in the words of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, ‘Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high…’ we want a Bengal that is free from fear and full of dignity."

Notably, Suvendu Adhikari is set to become the first BJP CM of West Bengal.

Suvendu Adhikari is expected to take oath on Saturday, coinciding with Rabindra Jayanti celebrations marking the birth anniversary of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, a symbolic moment the BJP is likely to project as the beginning of a new political era in Bengal.
