West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi during his first official visit to the national capital after assuming charge.
The interaction marked the beginning of formal engagements between the new state government and the Centre.
After the meeting, CM Adhikari stated that the Prime Minister assured comprehensive Central assistance for the effective functioning of the newly formed Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in West Bengal. He added that the Centre is committed to helping implement development and welfare initiatives promised during the Assembly elections.
Taking to X, CM Suvendu Adhikari posted, “Honoured and privileged to have met our respected Prime Minister; Shri @narendramodi Ji, in New Delhi today. This marks my first Official Meeting with Hon’ble PM since assuming the responsibility of serving the People of West Bengal as the Chief Minister.”
“I extend my deepest gratitude to Hon’ble PM for his warm wishes and above all, for his unwavering commitment to the progress of our State. During our fruitful discussion, Hon’ble Prime Minister reemphasized his vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and reiterated that the development of West Bengal remains a top priority for the Central Government,” the post read.
West Bengal CM further added, “I am incredibly thankful to him for assuring all possible help, guidance, and Central Support to rescue West Bengal from years of stagnation and place it firmly on the fast track of economic growth, industrial revival and youth empowerment.”
“With the blessings of the Centre and the trust of the People, we are ready to usher in a new era of double-engine growth, transparent governance, and holistic development for West Bengal. Jai Hind Vande Mataram,” he noted.
This visit was CM Adhikari’s first trip to Delhi after taking oath as the ninth Chief Minister earlier this month.
Observers view the visit as an opportunity to finalise the state Cabinet and assign portfolios to Ministers.
The meeting is likely to strengthen coordination between the Centre and the state, paving the way for enhanced collaboration in infrastructure, economic development, and welfare programmes aimed at benefiting citizens.
