Kolkata: A day after BJP veteran Tathagata Roy sought a "full-time state president", the party's state general secretary, Agnimitra Paul, said Bengal BJP needed an "uncompromising president".
"We have to fight it out on the field every day. Whoever is the president should be able to carry out the fight against the govt in a non-compromising way. It is for central functionaries to choose the state president," she said on Monday.
Referring to BJP's performance in the Maharashtra assembly elections, Paul said nobody had imagined such a result.IPL 2025 mega auctionIPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how muchVaibhav Suryavanshi, 13, becomes IPL's youngest crorepatiIPL Auction Live: Will Shaw, Rahane find buyers as auction enters final phase?"The party and Sangh have shown how we can perform in a united way.
