Team News Riveting
Kolkata, May 31
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a letter to ex- West Bengal party chief Dilip Ghosh cautioning him against making comments on colleagues that could harm the organisation.
Ghosh, now National Vice President of BJP, had publicly slammed his successor Sukanta Majumdar’s way of functioning in the state last month. “Sukanta Majumdar is less experienced. The party has been fighting for long and there are experienced veterans…They should be put up to fight in the state,” Ghosh had said.
The on Tuesday sent a letter to West Bengal’s former party chief Dilip Ghosh, asking him to ‘refrain from going to any media or public forum’ about his colleagues in Bengal, or anywhere else.
The letter was signed by BJP National General Secretary Arun Singh. Singh said that he is writing the letter following instructions from the party’s national President J P Nadda.
The letter states, “This was pointed to you on several occasions by the party leadership in the fond hope that you will take note. In a recent interview, your comments in the electronic media and perhaps on other forums have been openly critical of senior state functionaries. Such comments will only hurt and harm the party and negate your own hard work in the past.”
“Such statements coming from a person of your stature a National Vice President may create deep disaffection, unrest, and alienation among party ranks, which given the norms of political behavior and conduct is unacceptable. The national leadership of BJP is deeply concerned at issuance of such statements through the media,” the letter further read.
