Mamata Banerjee: After the shocking results of West Bengal Assembly elections, the activities of administrative reshuffle intensified. The Governor dissolved the West Bengal Assembly on May 7 and with this, the way for the formation of a new government was also cleared. The name of the new Chief Minister of the state can be approved tomorrow i.e. Saturday, May 9, for which not only West Bengal but the entire country is waiting.

Trinamool Congress, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has been in power in Bengal for more than a decade. During this period, party chief Mamata Banerjee remained in the headlines for many reasons. Another thing that was always discussed about him was that he did not take a single rupee salary during his tenure.

It has been said that during the last 15 years in power, he did not take a single rupee salary nor did he avail the benefit of pension as MP and MLA. In such a situation, the question obviously arises that how would he survive without salary or pension while holding such a high position?

How does your sister survive?

In an interview, Mamata Banerjee had revealed that she neither took her salary as Chief Minister nor touched her pension as an MP. His means of earning are book writing, painting and song writing. According to reports, apart from being a politician, Mamata Banerjee has also been a popular writer. She has written more than 100 books. He gets royalty from the books he writes, which is a major source of his income. From this they earn around Rs 10-11 lakh annually.

She also does painting. She donates part of the earnings from this. However, she also keeps some amount for her own needs. She also writes lyrics for songs. The production house for which she writes song lyrics pays her up to Rs 3 lakh annually. This has also been a major source of his income. Didi once said that she is alone so she does not need much money to survive. With the amount they earn, their work can be done comfortably.

How much pension will you get now?

If she chooses to take pension after stepping down from the post of Chief Minister, she will be entitled to multiple pensions and facilities simultaneously. Mamta Banerjee has been a Member of Parliament (MP) seven times, so the largest part of her possible pension will come from this. According to the current rules, former MPs who have held the post for at least five years get a basic pension of Rs 31,000 every month. An additional Rs 2,500 is added for every additional year of service. Considering his long parliamentary career of about 25–30 years, his MP pension alone can be around Rs 80,000 to Rs 1 lakh every month.

Apart from her tenure as MP, Banerjee has also been an MLA and Chief Minister. Under West Bengal rules, former MLAs get pension based on their salary structure, which is currently around Rs 1.21 lakh per month. However, the method of pension calculation may differ. As a former Chief Minister, he is also entitled to lifetime benefits, including medical facilities, Z+ security, staff and government accommodation.

Rules for more than one pension

Generally, people who have served as both MP and MLA can choose one pension – usually the higher pension. Banerjee has had a long tenure as MP, so probably her pension will be the highest. If he decides to accept this pension, he will get an amount of more than Rs 1 lakh every month. Besides, the facilities provided as a former Chief Minister will also be available throughout life.

The first BJP ruled government is going to be formed in West Bengal after independence. Shubhendu Adhikari has been elected leader in the legislature party meeting. After being elected leader of the legislative party, he stressed on running the new state administration on the basis of ‘collective leadership’. If any leader has increased his stature rapidly in the politics of West Bengal in the last few years, it is Shubhendu Adhikari. Today, he is not only the most prominent face of BJP in the state, but is also going to become the new Chief Minister of the state.

I will not run a new government: Shubhendu

Shubhendu Adhikari said, ‘I will not run a new government. Together we will run the new government. The meeting was chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and attended by the newly elected 2027 Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs, during which his name was unanimously chosen as the new leader of the BJP legislature party in the West Bengal Assembly and thus the next Chief Minister.

Political analysts believe that through this message of ‘collective leadership’, Adhikari has also given an indirect message that the new state cabinet led by him will not work like the previous cabinet, which was led by his predecessor Mamata Banerjee, because in Mamata’s cabinet, administrative decisions, whether small or big, could not be passed without her consent. In his speech, the officer also outlined the priorities of the new state cabinet.

Shubhendu told the priority of BJP government

He said that our priority will be to trace and take legal action against those involved in corruption and misuse of public funds, to provide justice to those who have been victims of grave injustice and atrocities in the last 15 years, and to ensure better and corruption-free public services.

Mamata Banerjee had created an atmosphere of fear: Amit Shah

Earlier, while addressing the gathering, the Union Home Minister reminded all the 207 elected MLAs of the party that they should ensure that the unwavering faith with which the people of West Bengal gave the Bharatiya Janata Party a massive victory in the recently concluded West Bengal elections, is not broken. He said that there was an atmosphere of fear during Mamata Banerjee’s rule, but despite this, I am grateful to the people of West Bengal that they trusted our leaders and gave us this victory.

He said that he wants to tell the party leaders to make every possible effort to fulfill the aspirations of the people who brought them to power. The Home Minister said, ‘Don’t let the trust be broken. This is the duty of all of you. We have to ensure that we give our best to the people of West Bengal.
