BJP general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh.Unlike his predecessors, BJP general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh has been often visible on social media, especially on Twitter, with his remarks. Some of his tweets have raised eyebrows in party circles as well. On Wednesday, Santosh retweeted a post, which had a letter issued from Uttarakhand Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri’s office. The letter, denying reports about the appointment of a media adviser to Khanduri, was marked to the BJP general secretary as well. Suddenly, questions on why an official release from the Speaker’s office was marked to a party office-bearer were raised on social media. They also pointed out that Santhosh promptly retweeted the post that had the release from the Speaker’s office.
