In Kolkata, the chair occupied by former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for 15 years in the state Assembly has moved to the opposition leader’s room following the government’s transition. Suvendu Adhikari, the BJP leader sworn in as the new Chief Minister, opts for a separate seat in the chief minister’s chamber.
Details of the Relocation
Officials confirm the wooden chair shifted Friday night amid administrative updates after the new administration took charge. The opposition leader’s room now holds the chair, aligning with protocol that removes the prior chief minister’s furniture and markers. Modifications proceed to accommodate the incoming leadership, a senior state bureaucrat states.
The nameplate from Banerjee’s former chamber vanished per standard procedure.
Electoral Context and Updates
Trinamool Congress chief Banerjee lost the Bhabanipur constituency in south Kolkata to Adhikari. A fresh nameplate bearing Adhikari’s name now graces the chief minister’s chamber entrance.
This space has served multiple past West Bengal chief ministers. The changes mark a routine handover of authority after the new government’s formation, an Assembly secretariat official notes.
