How Suvendu Adhikari led BJP’s 207-seat surge

1 min readUpdated: May 8, 2026 05:11 PM IST Putting all speculation to rest, the BJP today chose Suvendu Adhikari for the Chief Minister’s post in West Bengal, where it scored a thumping win in the recently held Assembly polls. Adhikari was elected the leader of the BJP’s legislature party in a meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Kolkata this afternoon.

In a social media post, the Trinamool Congress said that when Mr. Banerjee launched Sebashray to serve the people of his constituency, Mr. Adhikari mocked it. “Now, when the people of Nandigram want Sebashray, the same Suvendu (Adhikari) is busy replicating what he once ridiculed. Imitation may be flattering, but in politics it simply reveals an intellectual bankruptcy — and the public won’t be fooled,” the Trinamool Congress posted on social media. Several leaders of the Trinamool Congress joined the chorus. “The BJP has made it a habit: mock first, copy later. Every time the Trinamool …
