Calling the occasion a historic moment, she congratulated the new government and paid tribute to the courage and resilience shown by the people of Bengal, especially women and daughters of the state. The Chief Minister said the people of Bengal had witnessed years of oppression, corruption and political intimidation over the past 15 years, but had now chosen democratic change to realise the dream of Sonar Bangla. She described the day as the beginning of a new chapter for the state, where development and public trust would guide governance and Bengal would move forward in step with the rest of the country.
