Purba Medinipur, Nandigram erupt in celebrations over Suvendu Adhikari’s elevation

Business To Business, Kolkata, 8th May, 2026: Suvendu Adhikari’s hometown in Purba Medinipur and his constituency Nandigram erupted in celebrations on Friday after news emerged of his election as leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party legislature party.
Supporters chanting “Jai Shri Ram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” gathered outside his Shanti Kunj residence, while jubilant BJP workers celebrated across the district, which has long been politically associated with the Adhikari family, including Sisir Adhikari and Dibyendu Adhikari.
“We were waiting for this day. Dada is like our family elder. His becoming the BJP legislature party leader is a precursor of his becoming the chief minister of West Bengal in a few hours,” local resident Malati Hazra said.
