West Bengal BJP Gets New Chief; Dilip Ghosh Made National VP

Dr Sukanta Majumdar will be taking over the role of the state president of the party in West Bengal.

BJP leader Dilip Ghosh, formerly the state president of the party in West Bengal, has been appointed the national vice-president of the BJP.

Sukanta Majumdar, who is an MP from Balurghat, will be taking over the role of the state president of the party in West Bengal.

"BJP doesn’t run on a single leadership. In BJP, it is the team that takes a decision, not an individual. Here also we'll work as a team. We'll perform better in upcoming elections, including panchayat, municipalities and Lok Sabha," Majumdar said on Tuesday, according to news agency ANI.

The changes within the ranks of BJP Bengal comes after a series of defections from the party's state unit, with as many as four leaders leaving the party for the greener pastures of the ruling Trinamool Congress.
