Standing in Nandigram after his win, Adhikari said, “I will say, no one will take the law into their own hands. The next BJP government will reopen every case as per the Indian Penal Code...as per BNS. We will take action.”

‘I Have All The Names Written Down’

Addressing party workers and supporters celebrating his victory, Adhikari said he had noted down the names of those allegedly responsible for past atrocities but urged BJP cadres to remain peaceful.

“I have all the names written down. I will repay your debts. You should be calm. Now my request is, you have to maintain peace,” he said.

He further claimed he had to seek court intervention to pay tribute at memorial sites.

“I had to order from the High Court to offer a garland at the Shaheed Minar. I have not forgotten. Everything will be done through legal channels,” he said.

Bengal CM Race Intensifies As BJP Begins Legislature Party Process

Meanwhile, speculation has intensified over who will be the next Chief Minister of West Bengal after the BJP’s victory in the state.

According to sources, the BJP has tasked Union Home Minister Amit Shah with overseeing the election of the party’s legislative leader. He is expected to arrive in the state for the process, with Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi serving as co-observer.

A meeting with BJP MLAs is likely, during which the legislative party leader may be finalised before the BJP approaches the Governor to stake claim to form the government.
