West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday (May 11, 2026) said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of development for all was the guiding principle for the new BJP government in the State.
Mr. Adhikari visited the BJP office at Salt Lake in the eastern part of Kolkata along with the party’s State unit chief Samik Bhattacharya to attend organisational meeting. Before leaving his residence in the New Town area of Kolkata, Mr. Adhikari told reporters, “We have lots of responsibilities. We have to work for the people.” He then visited Mr. Bhattacharya’s house and together went to the BJP office in Salt Lake. “Our guiding principle will be the ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikash’ vision of Prime Minister Modi,” the Chief Minister said while acknowledging the greetings of hundreds of people gathered at the spot.

The BJP office in Salt Lake was decked up with flowers, with a protrait of Jan Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and an image of ‘Bharat Mata’ took pride of place.
Amid chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ at the party office, Adhikari was greeted with 207 lotuses by the party workers, signifying the number of seats BJP won in the Assembly polls.

Several BJP MLAs including the legislator of Bidhannagar, Sharadwat Mukherjee, as well as party leaders such as Locket Chatterjee and Saumitra Khan were present.
