Another senior leader, a prominent face of the party who was relieved of his responsibilities, claimed that there was a growing tendency of RSS to control the entire decision- making process of the state BJP which was doing more damage to the party.
“There is a growing tendency among the RSS to control the decision making process of the party. RSS was always an integral part of BJP’s organization, but in the last few months it has grown to such a level that inefficient people are getting various posts in the party due to RSS backing,” he said.
The leader also claimed there was a growing sense of disillusionment among the cadres.
“The cadres in various parts of the state, who had joined BJP after 2014 from CPI(M) and Congress hoping that BJP will be able to fight against TMC, are getting disillusioned with the party leadership and want to leave,” he said.
State BJP president Dilip Ghosh, however, refuted the allegations and said he has proved his mettle as politician.
“Who are they? If they have guts why don’t they say it on my face. If I am an apolitical man, then how come I won three seats including my own? Those who are making these allegations are themselves greedy and understand nothing other than political posts and money.
“I have not sidelined anybody, I have given them new responsibilities. Do they expect to continue as general secretary, secretary and president forever?” Ghosh asked.
Apart from Ghosh, who won the Kharagpur Sadar seat by defeating veteran Congress leader Gyan Singh Sohanpal, BJP won Malda’s Baishnabnagar and Madarihat seats in North Bengal.
State BJP secretary and spokesperson Krishanu Mitra said it was the prerogative of the state president to prepare his own team.(Sourced from agencies, Feature image courtesy:
