The infighting in the West Bengal Congress came out in the open today as various organisational districts submitted letters to newly-appointed AICC in-charge of the state Gaurav Gogoi, demanding immediate removal of PCC president Adhir Chowdhury for "immediate revival of the party".
Several middle level Congress leaders from South Kolkata district committee and North 24 Parganas district committee met Gogoi and submitted letters.
When asked about the inner party dissidence, Gogoi said, "What you call dissidence and division for us, it is inner party democracy. This is not the BJP where everybody is afraid to speak out."
