According to reports, BJP leader Dilip Ghosh of West Bengal is not in the mood to obey an order from his party high command that warned him against making “critical” comments about the party’s state unGhosh was advised not to criticize party leaders on public platforms by Arun Singh, national general secretary and head of the BJP headquarters.
The party leader described his comments about party leaders as “unacceptable” and said that such actions would harm the party and negate his past achievements.
Ghosh was warned by BJP central leadership after the former West Bengal BJP president described his successor as an “inexperienced” leader.
In reply to Singh’s letter, Ghosh replied, “What is this censorship all about?” The party high command has not sent me such a letter. Of course, the media personnel have shown me a copy of the letter that states it was sent by Ghosh with the approval of BJP national president JP Nadda.
Party leadership has mentioned this to you several times in the hope that you will take note of it. As instructed by J.P. Nadda Ji, I wish to express the party’s deep concern and anguish at such statements and advise you to refrain from mentioning your own colleagues in the media or in any public forum, whether in West Bengal or anywhere else,” the letter said.
It was Singh’s intention in his letter to Ghosh that such comments from the party’s national vice-president did not send a good message to the party workers who looked up to him as the party’s president “for direction, support and encouragement to continue the good work that you had begun”.
