Overview
- The party unveiled the West Bengal committee on Wednesday, detailing 12 vice-presidents, five general secretaries, 12 secretaries, a treasurer and other office-bearers, and announcing heads of key morchas.
- Reports differ on the panel’s size, with one IANS report listing 34 members and another describing a 35-member body.
- Former state chiefs Dilip Ghosh and Sukanta Majumdar were excluded under party rules that bar ex-presidents and government ministers from holding state committee berths.
- Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari was not included to allow focus on his current role, and five sitting MLAs were dropped under a one-person-one-post policy, with exceptions for Shankar Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul and Dipak Burman.
- The lineup blends veterans and newcomers, including former TMC minister Tapas Roy as a vice-president, Ali Hossain to lead the minority morcha, and Khagen Murmu to head the ST morcha.
