Speculation Grows Over Dilip Ghosh's Potential Return as BJP State President Ahead of Amit Shah's Kolkata Visit

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, March 16, 2025, Kolkata :  Former BJP state president Dilip Ghosh is set to visit the West Bengal Assembly on Tuesday at 2 PM to meet with BJP MLAs, sparking widespread speculation regarding his future role within the party. Ghosh’s visit comes during a crucial pre-election phase, fueling rumors that he might be in line to reclaim the position of BJP state president.

The political buzz surrounding Ghosh has intensified as other key figures within the state BJP, including current State President Sukanta Majumdar and prominent leader Shuvendu Adhikari, are expected to meet with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday night. It is anticipated that discussions surrounding leadership roles, including the state BJP president position, will be on the agenda.

Amit Shah, who is scheduled to visit Kolkata on March 29 for a one-day trip, is expected to hold a series of organizational meetings in preparation for next year’s assembly elections. Majumdar confirmed that Shah’s visit will focus on strengthening the BJP’s organizational framework, with the likelihood of a state president being announced before the visit gaining traction.

Majumdar also revealed that the central leadership has been informed that 25 district presidents have been elected, marking a significant step towards the selection of the state president. However, Majumdar clarified that no formal instructions have been received yet, and the nomination process will commence once the green light is given by the central leadership.

As the political drama unfolds, Dilip Ghosh’s meetings with BJP MLAs prior to the state president announcement are adding fuel to the speculation, with many watching closely to see how these developments will shape the party’s strategy ahead of the crucial state elections.
