Abhijit Gangopadhyay, who resigned as a judge of the Calcutta High Court on March 5, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 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.
