West Bengal: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday filed his nomination from the Nandigram seat for the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
On March 6, the BJP fielded former TMC leader Suvendu Adhikari from Nandigram against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, setting the stage for a high-profile contest from the seat in the state Assembly elections. Adhikari, a former minister in the Trinamool Congress government, had joined the BJP in December last year.
Earlier today, Suvendu Adhikari offered prayers at a temple in Nandigram.

Two days ago, Didi said I had been lathi charged in Nandigram, but it was Suvendhu bhai who got hit first and fought in 2006-2007 (for land acquisition movement): Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan at an event in Haldia
I came to ask Didi that which daughter needs to be voted? Who thrashed an 80-yr-old woman? Who murdered BJP workers? Who doesn’t allow Durga idol immersion & Saraswati Puja? Who does Chandi Path when she comes to Nandigram & says Khela Hobe?: Union Min Smriti Irani in Haldia, WB
There is a lack of employment opportunities in the State. To bring change, we need to remove this TMC. TMC has turned into a private company, where only ‘Didi’ and ‘Bhaipo’ can speak freely: BJP’s Nandigram candidate Suvendu Adhikari
I hope to receive people’s blessings. I’m confident people will support BJP & bring it for real development in West Bengal. There is no question of any competition. BJP won 18 Parliamentary seats in 2019 & it will form a strong govt this time with a huge margin: Suvendu Adhikari
