Kolkata: With an eye on the 2021 assembly polls the BJP on Thursday re-elected Dilip Ghosh, who is credited for the growth of the saffron party in West Bengal, as president of its state unit for the second consecutive term.
Ghosh being the only nominee for the post was elected unopposed as West Bengal BJP president for 2020-2023 at the state committee meeting here.
BJP national general secretary Murlidhar Rao handed over the certificate to him. Ghosh’s re-election to the top post came just days after his controversial remark that anti-CAA protesters “were shot like dogs” in BJP-ruled states drew sharp criticism both from the opposition and his party men.
During Ghosh’s tenure as state president, the BJP witnessed a meteoric rise in West Bengal bagging 18 out of the 42 parliamentary seats in the state.
After being re-elected Ghosh said he will fight to win the 2021 assembly elections in the state.
“I will continue to fight and won’t stop till BJP forms the next government in West Bengal,” he said. (PTI)
