NCPI MPs from Murshidabad meet Suvendu Adhikari, rule out joining NDA
There has been several meetings between NCPI MPs and the BJP leadership over the past few days
Two Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) MPs from Murshidabad, Abu Taher Khan and Khalilur Rahman, met Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The pair affirmed their decision not to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Khan highlighted concerns over Muslim issues in Murshidabad, including name deletions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and mosque microphone restrictions.
Despite meeting BJP leaders recently, the Murshidabad MPs' stance contradicts that of 17 other NCPI MPs who also refuse to align with the NDA. Out of the three NCPI Murshidabad MPs, three have also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The NCPI's unity is now questioned due to these differing views within the party.
