He promised better welfare schemes for the people if the BJP comes to power in Bengal, saying that the TMC is spreading lies that the 'Lokkhir bhandar' scheme of the Mamata Banerjee government for giving monetary support to women will be stopped by the saffron party.
"Trinamool Congress will become an Opposition party in West Bengal in April," Mr. Adhikari said while addressing a public meeting here in Malda district.
Assembly elections in West Bengal are due in the first half of this year.
