Abhijit Gangopadhyay announced on Tuesday that he is joining the BJP, hours after he resigned as a judge of the Calcutta High Court. Addressing a press conference, he alleged that the TMC was “synonymous with corruption” and he would fight it till the end. “I will be joining the BJP, possibly on March 7. I am joining the BJP as it is a national party, which is fighting against the corruption of the TMC in Bengal,” he said.
Gangopadhyay, whose rulings on various education-related matters stirred political debates, refrained from giving a direct reply on whether he would contest the Lok Sabha polls. “It is for the BJP leadership to decide whether they want me to fight. Whatever they decide I will accept,” he said. Gangopadhyay said he would fight against the “injustice” and “corruption” of the TMC. “TMC leaders have been using derogatory language against me for quite some time.
