West Bengal BJP Reshuffles Organisation Under One-Post Rule
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.
Because of this, some ministers were removed from party posts.
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.
Amit Samanta will lead the youth wing.
The changes came after a BJP-RSS meeting discussed coordination, jobs, safety, outreach, and development.
The West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party announced a major organisational reshuffle on Friday.
