Addressing a press conference from Nabanna Sabhaghar, Adhikari said that this process has ‘no’ link with politics.

“We have a 600 km unfenced border with Bangladesh as the previous state government didn’t give the land to BSF. Due to this a demographic change had taken place in this state. The country has moved far ahead in census operations while we have remained behind. This census drive is important and people of entire Bengal should participate in the process,” mentioned Adhikari.
