West Bengal is set to witness a major political moment on May 9 as leaders from across the country gather in Kolkata for the new government’s oath-taking ceremony. The event is expected to highlight the BJP’s growing political presence in the state and will see the participation of several senior NDA leaders.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is scheduled to attend the swearing-in ceremony at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and chief ministers from various NDA-ruled states are also likely to be present at the event.

The Bharatiya Janata Party is preparing to form the government in West Bengal for the first time, making the ceremony politically significant for the party. BJP state president Samik Bhattacharya confirmed that the oath-taking ceremony will be held on May 9.

Security arrangements across Kolkata have been strengthened ahead of the high-profile gathering, with a large number of supporters and political leaders expected to attend. The ceremony is likely to remain one of the most closely watched political events in the country this week.
