BJP Leader Dilip Ghosh Questions Shifting of Established Leaders to Unfamiliar Seats
A day after publicly stating that his reassignment from Medinipur Lok Sabha constituency to Bardhaman-Durgapur was a mistake by the BJP leadership, outspoken saffron party leader Dilip Ghosh on Friday questioned the rationale behind relocating established leaders like him from winnable constituencies to challenging electoral battlegrounds.
Ghosh, a former BJP state president who won the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Medinipur, suffered a crushing defeat in the Bardhaman-Durgapur seat in the 2024 polls, losing to TMC's Kirti Azad by a margin of nearly 1.38 lakh votes.
In his initial reaction after the electoral setback, Ghosh had said, "It is now established that sending me to contest from a new constituency was a mistake." Continuing his critique a day later, Ghosh questioned the choices made by the state BJP leadership, particularly in relocating experienced leaders like him and former Union MoS Debasree Choudhury from familiar constituencies to unfamiliar ones, resulting in losses for the party in both Medinipur and Bardhaman-Durgapur.
"Candidates like me and (former Union MoS) Debasree Choudhury, who are familiar with the constituencies like Medinipur and Raiganj and having worked at the grassroots level for years were dispatched to other seats this time. This has to be looked into. Though we retained Raiganj, it is inexplicable why Choudhury was shunted to Kolkata Dakshin?," he said.
