Will face public test after first year, will apologise if I fail: West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced on Monday that he will face a public "test" after completing his first year in office on May 9, 2027. Adhikari stated that if he fails to achieve a score of nine out of ten, he will accept his failure and apologize to the people. This assessment will take place on May 9, 2027, when the public will judge his performance.

The Chief Minister made this commitment while launching a drinking water project in Manbazar, Purulia district. During the 100 days of his government's tenure, Adhikari highlighted various achievements, including providing land to the BSF for border fencing, initiating the Census exercise, implementing the Ayushman Bharat scheme, and excluding illegal OBC certificates.

The Ayushman Bharat scheme will offer medical coverage of Rs 5 lakh at 38,000 hospitals in the state, benefiting 87,271 families and around 8.13 lakh people. The water project will provide 70 liters of treated drinking water daily to each person, with 100,000 jobs expected to be created by March 31, 2027. Adhikari also announced plans to include the Kurmali language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution and legalise all sand ghats in the state to regulate the sector and increase government revenue.
