The West Bengal BJP changed several roles inside its party organization.
It brought back a rule saying one person should hold only one party position.

Five new vice-presidents and four new state secretaries were appointed.
Most general secretaries kept their positions, but Bijon Goswami replaced Bapi Goswami.
Anjana Basu will lead the women’s wing.
