West Bengal | BJP's Bengal slide

India Today  

BJP national general secretary Sunil Bansal warned leaders of the party’s Bengal unit of his kukhyat side at an online meeting recently. The party’s minder for the state tore into his colleagues, shocked by their abysmal performance in the ongoing membership drive that was launched by Union home minister Amit Shah in the state on October 26. The central leadership had fixed a total target of 10 million members for West Bengal; till November 7, only 450,000 persons had completed the process of becoming a BJP member, many of them being renewal of memberships. It demonstrates that in spite of the upbeat notes Bengal’s BJP leaders try to strike, their organisational erosion continues, especially after the Lok Sabha polls, when they won 12 seats, down from 18 in 2019.
