Emphasis on Women Leaders to Counter Mamata, Focus on 'Bhadralok' Image in Bengal BJP's Rejig

News 18  

The West Bengal BJP’s major organisational change after back-to-back poll losses has shown an emphasis on women leaders to counter chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s popularity. While the state BJP unit wants to right its wrongs with these structural changes, the introduction of women at major party organisation posts is a significant move. The BJP has appointed two female vice-presidents, two general secretaries and three secretaries in the reshuffle of the state committee, for which the party released a fresh list of 72 members. BJP wants to tap bhadralok image The BJP has never given much importance to the projection of the Bengali bhadralok as they have always functioned like a non-Bengali “outsider” party.
