All the newly elected 77 BJP MLAs in West Bengal are being provided a cover of central security forces in view of potential threats to them, PTI has reported quoting govt sources. The report said that the MLAs will be secured by armed commandos of the CISF and the CRPF.
The Home Ministry has reportedly approved the cover after a report prepared by central security agencies and the inputs of a high-level team of officers that was sent to the state in the wake of post-poll violence against the workers of the BJP.
Sixty-one MLAs will be covered under the lowest ''X'' category and the commandos will be drawn from the CISF. The rest are either enjoying the central security cover or will be covered under the next higher category of ''Y''. Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari is already a ''Z'' category protectee of the CRPF.

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Himanta Biswa Sarma was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Assam on Monday. He along with 13 members of his cabinet, was administered the oath by state Governor Jagdish Mukhi. He succeeded Sarbananda Sonowal as the 15th Chief Minister of the state.
The simple swearing-in ceremony was attended by BJP National President J P Nadda and other party as well as opposition leaders. Sarma who left the Congress in 2015 despite being close to then Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi played a crucial role in leading the BJP-led alliance to a victory in the assembly elections. PM Modi congratulated Sarma and said he was confident "this team will add momentum to the development journey of Assam".

Congress president Sonia Gandhi did some plain speak at a meet with senior party leaders to brainstorm on the party's defeat in the recent Assembly polls.
Sonia called on her party to "take note of our serious setbacks and put our house in order". She told the CWC meet that a small group will be set up to look at every aspect that caused party's electoral reverses.
"We need to candidly understand why Congress failed to dislodge incumbent govts in Kerala, Assam and drew complete blank in West Bengal," Sonia Gandhi stated, adding that "If we do not face reality, we will not draw right lessons".
The party chief's strong words come days after she described their performance in last month's Assembly elections as "very disappointing" and added that it was "unexpectedly so".

After a sweeping victory in the hotly contested Bengal election, forty-three members of the Mamata Banerjee led Trinamool Congress were sworn in on Monday at the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata. The swearing-in ceremony conducted by West Bengal governor Jagdeep Dhankar was low-key affair due to the Covid-19 emergency. &nbsp;Mamata Banerjee took charge as the Chief Minister of West Bengal for her third term on May 6.
Out of the 43 candidates who were sworn in, 24 are full ministers, 19 are state ministers and 10 will be holding independent offices. The 16 new faces in the new government include former India cricketer Manoj Tiwar, former IPS officer Humayun Kabir among others.

The two other former ministers whom the Governor has now cleared for prosecution are Madan Mitra and Sovan Chatterjee.

The government has brought the construction work for the ambitious project under the ambit of &ldquo;essential services&rdquo; to ensure smooth movement of labourers during the ongoing lockdown in Delhi.

&nbsp;Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has urged the central government to allow states to develop their ownapplications for COVID-19 vaccination programme.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Thackeray said the vaccination drive in Maharashtra has been the "fastest and the most efficient in the country".
At present, people have to register their names on CoWIN platform introduced by the central government for the vaccination.
"As we plan to open up vaccination for the 18 to 45 age group through the state's procurement, the CoWIN app is seeing a sudden surge in the number of citizens wanting to register nationally. There is fear about the app malfunctioning and crashing as it did on the first day of registration of the age group," he said.
"We propose either a separate app developed by states, where the data can be shared with the Union government's ministry of health or a CoWIN app for each state, developed and assigned by the government of India," he said.
This would ensure better interface and experience for citizens who are really keen to take the vaccine shot, the chief minister added.
Thackeray wrote that the vaccine supply was also a major challenge.

Even six days after the BJP's clear victory in Assam polls, there is still suspense over who will be the chief minister. The BJP central leadership has now summoned the incumbent CM Sarbananda Sonowal and its most powerful leader in the state Himanta Biswa Sarma to Delhi to discuss the issue.
Both leaders are claimant to the top job with Sarma, the party's troubleshooter in the northeast, reportedly wanting the prize this time. But it will be difficult for the BJP to replace Sonowal who has a clean image and belongs to Assam's indigenous Sonowal-Kachari tribal community. The BJP is also yet to hold a meeting of its parliamentary board, which normally decides key issues like who will be the chief minister of a state.
The BJP had not announced a chief ministerial candidate before the March-April polls in Assam.
