Amidst the fervour of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, Suvendu Adhikari, the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, made his mark by casting his vote at a polling station nestled in the heart of Nandigram, West Bengal, on Saturday. As the nation witnesses the sixth phase of polling unfurl across 58 parliamentary constituencies, spanning six states and two Union Territories, Adhikari’s participation underscored the essence of democratic responsibility and civic duty. Expressing his unwavering support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and vision for a developed India, Adhikari remarked, “I have cast my vote today for Narendra Modi, for Viksit Bharat, for a strong India.”
In addition to endorsing Modi’s leadership, Adhikari vocally supported Bharatiya Janata Party’s Tamluk candidate, Justice Abhijit Ganguly, lauding his relentless pursuit of justice and development. “I have cast my vote for Justice Abhijit Ganguly, the one who has been selected as the candidate from here by Narendra Modi and whose action led to the imprisonment of several thieves,” Adhikari proudly declared. His endorsement of Ganguly’s candidacy emphasized the importance of integrity and accountability in political representation.
Anticipating substantial development under Ganguly’s leadership, Adhikari expressed confidence in the BJP candidate’s ability to spearhead progress in the Tamluk constituency. “I believe that Narendra Modi will be the Prime Minister for the third time winning more than 400 seats and Justice Ganguly will win from here,” Adhikari asserted confidently. He emphasized that while some developmental work had already commenced, there remained ample opportunities for transformative growth initiatives in the region.
