BJP Unveils New West Bengal State Committee as Nadda Arrives to Set Poll Game Plan

The team prioritizes organisers over prospective candidates to enforce one-person-one-post discipline.

Overview

  • The state unit announced a fresh panel reported as either 34 or 35 office-bearers, including 12 vice-presidents, five general secretaries and 12 secretaries, plus finance and office roles.
  • J.P. Nadda reached Kolkata and is set to chair a Thursday meeting to brief the new team on the roadmap for the April–May 2026 assembly elections.
  • Former state chiefs Dilip Ghosh and Sukanta Majumdar, as well as Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, were left out, with party sources citing constitutional norms and workload considerations.
  • Leaders expected to contest were largely kept outside organisational posts, and several sitting legislators were dropped under the one-person-one-post policy, with a few retained in office-bearer roles.
  • The reshuffle reinstated Ali Hossain as Minority Morcha chief and named ex-TMC minister Tapas Roy a vice-president, while Khagen Murmu took charge of the ST Morcha and other frontal wings received new or continued heads.
