NEW DELHI:

Many factions have emerged, looking to stake claim to form the new body, said BFI members who did not want to be named.

"BFI is in turmoil. Elections must have been called before the tenure of office-bearers came to an end. Three-four groups have emerged under different office-bearers, they are pulling their weight to contest for the top posts," a BFI member aware of the development told HT.

On Monday, some members of the BFI executive body wrote to secretary-general Hemanta Kumar Kalita, asking to issue notice for the AGM to elect office-bearers by March 15.
