“My soul tells me that my tenure as a judge is over, and it is time to enter a bigger sphere and serve people. I will put in my papers on Tuesday,” justice Gangopadhyay told ABP Ananda.
He said he may join any of the Left parties, Congress or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and even contest the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Though the judge did not specify his choice, a senior state BJP leader told HT that he is likely to join the party next week.
“ Had that been the case wouldn’t we put Mamata and Abhishek Banerjee behind bars before others? This is a baseness allegation. BJP does not interfere in the functioning of courts.
