Former BJP state president Dilip Ghosh today claimed that the party’s national committee has accorded top priority to the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, which is why the newly appointed national president has chosen Bengal as his first destination after assuming office.
Speaking to the media after his morning walk in Katwa today, Ghosh said: “He is arriving in Durgapur to inaugurate the Kamal Mela. He will also attend a core committee meeting with state leaders in Durgapur.” The five-day mela is being organised at Rajiv Gandhi Maidan in the Durgapur Steel Township.
However, Ghosh has not been invited to attend the meeting with the party’s national president, Nitin Naveen, in Durgapur. He was seen walking along Kachhari Road in Katwa town this morning.
Ghosh also took a dig at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his meeting with Trinamul Congress chief Mamata Banerjee earlier today. He said: “He should first handle Uttar Pradesh, where his own party is in shambles in its home turf. If such leaders come here to campaign for Didi, it will not work at all ~ just as Didi’s broken Hindi fell flat in Uttar Pradesh in the last election.”
