On 2024-02-20, in a significant political development in West Bengal, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, along with other party MLAs, was initially stopped by police from visiting Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas district, despite having been granted permission by the Calcutta High Court. The court's decision came after Adhikari, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, expressed his intention to visit the area, emphasizing it as his responsibility. Following the obstruction by the police in Dhamakhali, Adhikari and the accompanying MLAs staged a protest against the police and state government's actions. Eventually, Adhikari, along with BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh, proceeded to Sandeshkhali in a boat, adhering to the High Court's condition that they could not take any party worker or supporter with them due to the imposition of Section 144 in the area.
