BJP central leadership seeks new state committee focussed on party, not polls

As the Bharatiya Janata Party is likely to unveil its new West Bengal state committee this month, the party's central leadership has asked the state leaders to ensure most members focus on strengthening the organisation rather than contesting elections.

"The new state committee will comprise 31 members. The central leadership, which is closely monitoring the selection process, has instructed the state unit to ensure that - except for a few exceptions - most members remain focused solely on organisational work rather than contesting elections. Party central observer Sunil Bansal is particularly keen on forming a committee dedicated entirely to strengthening the organisation," said a current BJP state committee member.
