Kolkata, Jan 21 (NationPress) The newly appointed national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Nitin Nabin, is anticipated to journey to West Bengal later this month to assess the party's readiness for the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for later this year.

According to party insiders, Nabin is likely to engage in a series of meetings with the state leadership to evaluate election preparedness and gauge the strength of the organization ahead of these vital elections. Nabin took his oath as the BJP's national president on Tuesday, following his election to the position.

Sources indicate that he had already interacted with the West Bengal unit prior to his election. After submitting his nomination, he met with state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya, Balurghat MP Sukanta Majumdar, and other notable party leaders such as Amitava Chakravorty, Sunil Bansal, Mangal Pandey, and Amit Malviya on Monday evening.

It is reported that the new party president intends to connect with leaders across various levels of the state organization.

“Upon his arrival, a series of discussions will be conducted with state leadership as well as leaders from various ‘morchas’, cells, and district organizations. The party's stance on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision exercise in West Bengal is expected to be a topic of discussion,” stated a senior BJP leader from the state.

In response to this development, senior Trinamool Congress leader Joy Prakash Majumdar expressed skepticism, remarking that such visits would have minimal effect.

“Previously, central BJP leaders visited in attempts to secure elections here, but were unsuccessful. JP Nadda, after becoming the BJP national president, also stated he would visit West Bengal twice to oversee the organization. However, upon realizing there was no viable opportunity for the BJP in Bengal, he departed. New central leaders are welcome, but like their predecessors, they too will likely leave soon after facing defeat in the upcoming Assembly elections,” Majumdar commented.
