Nandigram played a defining role in Adhikari’s political rise. He first gained prominence after his 2021 Assembly election win against former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram, earning him the “giant killer” tag.

In the latest elections, Adhikari repeated his political dominance by winning from both Nandigram and Bhabanipur. His victory in Bhabanipur was particularly significant as he defeated Banerjee by a margin of over 15,000 votes.

A turning point for West Bengal politics

With BJP preparing to form its first government in West Bengal since Independence, the oath ceremony marks a major shift in the state’s political landscape. Saturday’s event will formally begin Adhikari’s tenure as Chief Minister, bringing weeks of speculation to an end following the Assembly election results declared on May 4.

All eyes are now on Brigade Parade Ground, where the state’s new political chapter is set to begin.
