Amit Shah is traveling to Kolkata tonight to attend a crucial political meeting focused on selecting the new chief minister of West Bengal. According to party sources, he will serve as the chief observer in the process of electing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s legislative party leader. Mohan Charan Majhi will assist him in this task. Under BJP rules, central observers are sent to states after elections to oversee the selection of legislative leaders.

This meeting is being viewed as highly significant, as the BJP is reportedly close to forming a government in West Bengal after being in opposition. Party insiders suggest that the decision may not only finalize the legislative leader but could also effectively determine the next chief minister, since the elected leader typically assumes that role.

Earlier, current Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee dismissed speculation about her resignation, stating that her party had not been defeated. The overall political atmosphere in West Bengal remains tense amid expectations of a new government formation.
