Suvendu Adhikari, the newly sworn-in chief minister of West Bengal following the BJP’s assembly election victory, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to discuss transition planning and federal assistance. Adhikari thanked Modi for campaign support and outlined priorities for law enforcement, industry and social welfare programs.
The meeting signaled coordination between the state leadership and central ministries on funding approvals and administrative appointments. Adhikari defected from the Trinamool Congress years ago and became the BJP’s face in a state long resistant to the party.
Modi’s office released photographs of the discussion but did not disclose specific policy commitments. Political observers said early rapport between the leaders will shape implementation of BJP manifesto pledges in Kolkata.
Adhikari traveled to the capital shortly after assuming office as West Bengal’s chief minister under BJP leadership. The New Delhi meeting focused on aligning state priorities with central programs following the party’s historic assembly win in the eastern state.
