BJP revamps party organisation in West Bengal

Kolkata, Jan 12 (IBNS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is overhauling its party organisation in West Bengal to present itself as a credible opposition in the upcoming state assembly poll.

Dilip Ghosh, a RSS Pracharak, who assumed office as president of BJP's West Bengal unit in December, has inducted several new faces while removing some of the office bearers and district presidents.

Those removed from their posts include general secretary Ashim Sarkar, media convenor Ritesh Tiwari and the party's youth wing president Amitava Roy. However, Tiwari retained his post seat as secretary, while Roy was made one.

Actress-turned-politician Rupa Ganguly  is the new chief of West Bengal BJP women's wing.

After the 2014 general elections, many had begun to complain that outsiders, who had joined the party in West Bengal after 2014, were being given important positions at the expense of old-timers.
