Bengal BJP evaluating leaders' performance, set for major

With an eye on 2021 Assembly polls in West Bengal, the state's BJP unit is all set for a major overhaul with the party deciding to revamp the organisation by removing inactive leaders from key posts and bring in young and able organisers in the party.

The state unit is preparing an evaluation report of the performance of all its office bearers, based on which it will be decided whether or not they would get a place in the next committee, a senior BJP leader said.

The effectiveness and participation of state leaders in pro-CAA campaign in the last two months will be a key benchmark for those who wish to be in the committee, he said.

The party will also revamp its organisational districts for better coordination and functioning.

The development comes weeks after Dilip Ghosh was re- elected as the state president for the second consecutive time.

Confirming that there will be changes in the state committee, Ghosh told PTI that the final list will be prepared after discussion with the central leadership.

Asked whether new faces will be inducted in the state body, Ghosh said, "Just wait for a few days, everything will be clear."
