Former Calcutta High Court judge Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay joined Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday.
After joining the BJP, Mr Gangopadhyay said, “Today’s joining is nice. The way they have welcomed me is overwhelming. Everybody knows corruption is to be fought.”
On Sandeshkhali, he said, “It’s a very bad incident and the state leaders have gone there but they have been prevented from reaching there. Despite that, they have reached and stood beside the women there and BJP is taking up the cause of people in Sandeskhali”.
Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay was formally included in the party in the presence of state party chief Sukanta Majumdar, Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, and others in Kolkata.
Sukanta Majumdar said, “As a State President of BJP I welcome former Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay to our party, to the family of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I believe the way he has worked as a Justice for exploited victims of Bengal, he will carry forward that work with the leadership of the BJP.”
“Bengal’s politics will take a turn in the coming future This is the right time for the educated youth of Bengal to come forward and contribute to turning the politics of the state for good,” the BJP leader said.
Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who stepped down as a Judge of the Calcutta High Court earlier in the month had announced that he would join the BJP.
