He thanked the people of Bengal and the Election Commission of India for a ‘deathless, intimidation-free’ election in the state that has been known for political violence for decades.
The 321 BJP worked that had been killed by TMC goons over the years were paid tribute by the new cabinet. The CM stated that the victims of political violence won’t be forgotten and the government will take care of their families.

"Bengal govt gives nod to transfer land to BSF for fencing border with Bangladesh, tasking officials to complete it within 45 days."
