West Bengal has got a new CM. Shubhendu Adhikari has taken oath as CM. Along with this, a big change has been seen on TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee's social media platform X. Mamta, who used to write CM in her bio till yesterday, has changed it. Now he has written in it, President of All India Trinamool Congress. Then wrote- Chief Minister of West Bengal, 15th, 16th and 17th Assembly in bracket.
After the election results came, despite the defeat, Mamata had announced that she would not resign. She had said that she has not lost, then why would she resign? Till some time ago, the word “former” was not even written on his social media profile. Today when Subhendu Adhikari took oath as the new Chief Minister of Bengal, he changed his bio.
Political experts say that according to the Constitution, Mamata Banerjee was the acting Chief Minister of the state till May 7, but as per tradition, in all states the Chief Minister has to resign on the day the election results are declared. Same thing happened in 2011 also. Seeing the trend of that time, Buddhadev Bhattacharya had resigned from the post of Chief Minister. However, Mamata Banerjee did not resign.
On the other hand, today Subhendu Adhikari took oath as the Chief Minister of West Bengal. He is the 9th Chief Minister of Bengal. Yesterday Shuvendu was elected leader of the legislative party in the assembly. Today he took oath in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and the central leadership. Some time ago, 'Leader of Opposition' was written in Shuvendu's social media bio. Now the name of the Chief Minister of West Bengal is in his bio.
Let us tell you that BJP has won 207 seats in West Bengal. Whereas Mamata Banerjee's party TMC was limited to only 80 seats. In this election, Subhendu Adhikari had contested from two assembly seats. He contested from Nandigram seat of his home district East Midnapore and Bhawanipur seat of South Kolkata and registered a resounding victory on both the seats. In Bhawanipur, he defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by a margin of more than 15,000 votes.
