A BJP party insider
An unnamed insider familiar with the West Bengal BJP’s organisational decisions
“To make a change in this position in a state, someone is first brought in as the Joint Organisation Secretary. He works for six months or a year and gets acquainted with the organisation. After that, the old Organisation Secretary is removed. Although Dhond was indeed the Joint Organisation Secretary along with Chakravorty for some time, he is neither Bengali nor fluent in Bengali. So, Chakravorty’s reappointment was inevitable,”
