My only objective is to completely oust the corrupt political forces from power in West Bengal. I want to ensure that that force does not come back to power in West Bengal in 2026. Moreover, I have joined the BJP to fight with full strength against the corrupt present state government. Furthermore, I will make every possible effort to honestly fulfil the responsibility the party has entrusted to me.”

“All I can say is that a person like Abhijeet Gangopadhyay is extremely necessary in the current political situation in the state,” Adhikari said.
