Capital Front: PM Modi Reaches Brigade Parade Ground for BJP’s Historic Bengal Swearing-In

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Kolkata’s iconic Brigade Parade Ground for the historic swearing-in ceremony of Suvendu Adhikari, who is set to become the first BJP Chief Minister of West Bengal. The Prime Minister landed via helicopter near the Race Course area before heading toward the massive event venue amid tight security and loud celebrations by party supporters. Thousands of BJP workers and supporters gathered across the Brigade Parade Ground waving saffron flags and chanting slogans as the state prepared for a major political transition. The atmosphere remained electric with celebrations, drum performances, and cultural displays continuing throughout the venue. Large crowds waited eagerly for a glimpse of the Prime Minister and senior BJP leadership. Several NDA chief ministers and top party leaders had already reached the stage before the ceremony. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh were among the prominent leaders present for the occasion. Governor R. N. Ravi also arrived ahead of the oath-taking ceremony. The swearing-in is being viewed as a defining political moment in Bengal’s modern history, marking the BJP’s rise from a marginal force to the ruling party in the state. Political observers say the event carries symbolic importance for the BJP’s broader expansion strategy across eastern India. Supporters described the ceremony as the fulfillment of a decades-long ideological vision linked to Syama Prasad Mukherjee. Security remained extremely tight across central Kolkata as VIP convoys continued arriving at the venue shortly before the official ceremony began.
