Observing that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power without the support of those trying to make into the party now, president of the party’s West Bengal unit Samik Bhattacharya on Friday (November 13, 2026) said that FIR should be registered against elements who are trying to associate with the party and tarnish the image of the party. “Register FIRs. Suvendu Adhikari is the police minister. Give me the papers, I will file them,” Mr.
Bhattacharya said. The remarks made by the Bengal BJP chief have been made at a time when there are allegations that leaders and supporters of other parties are trying to join the BJP. There have been certain reports of BJP supporters allegedly indulging in extortion after the party came to power, a charge that was levelled against Trinamool Congress leaders when the party was in power. “BJP has reached here (came to power) by keeping them out.
BJP has no need to touch them,” he said. Mr. Bhattacharya said that there can be some ‘deviations’ and the “party will correct them”.
