BJP to hold meeting to lay down road map for 2021 Bengal assembly polls

BJP national general secretary and party’s co-observer for Bengal, Kailash Vijayvargiya, BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha, party’s election committee convenor Mukul Roy and West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh will preside over the state committee meeting.

Sources said there could be some changes in the organisational set up and some district presidents might be changed. According to a senior BJP leader, some new faces might get bigger responsibilities as a large number of state leaders have been elected to Lok Sabha.

“Our leader Debasree Chaudhuri has been made a Union minister so she will have to give more time for her new responsibilities. Similarly, leaders such as Locket Chatterjee, who is the state BJP Mahila Morcha president, has been elected to Lok Sabha. So, we are expecting some organisational changes,” the party leader said.

Recently, the BJP won 18 Lok Sabha seats out of 42 in Bengal. Based on the results, the party had a lead in over 129 Assembly seats.

“This is a routine party meeting. But there will be some organisational changes. Our party president Amit
Shah has set a target of 180 seats from Bengal. Now, our aim is to achieve this target,” Ghosh said.
