Former Calcutta HC judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay joins BJP

Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who resigned as a judge of the Calcutta High Court on March 5, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday. Mr. Gangopadhyay was welcomed by the BJP State party president Sukanta Majumdar and Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari. “The task we have cut out for us is to ensure that a corrupt political party doesn’t return to power in the State in 2026,” Mr. Gangopadhyay said, targeting the Trinamool Congress. With the former judge joining active politics, the Trinamool Congress leadership has raised questions of political bias behind the orders delivered by Mr. Gangopadhyay.
