In a surprising turn of events, former West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh has not been invited to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s upcoming visit to the state.This absence has sparked discussions among political circles,especially given the proximity of Shah’s stay to Ghosh’s residence. When questioned by reporters, Ghosh stated that he does not attend events unless called by senior leaders, emphasizing the importance of respect and hierarchy within the party.
Ghosh’s comments come on the heels of Prime minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit, during which he had expressed his willingness to attend if a significant leader was present. He dismissed any notions of feeling slighted, asserting that he has previously participated in such events when he held the presidency. Interestingly, Shah will be staying just two kilometers from Ghosh’s home, yet the former president remains firm in his decision not to attend, citing that the current leadership is responsible for managing such engagements. This situation highlights the intricate dynamics within the BJP in West Bengal, as Ghosh navigates his role amidst shifting party responsibilities.
