Adhikari's decision comes after his historic victories, defeating outgoing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in crucial electoral battles.

He expressed confidence in the BJP's enduring future in Bengal, vowing improved infrastructure and aiming to increase the party's vote share in upcoming elections.
