In a significant development during the one-day visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and JP Nadda to Bengal for a crucial strategic meeting ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, notable decisions were made, including the immediate removal of Anupam Hazra from the position of National General Secretary.
This decision comes as the second major action against Hazra, who has been vocal against the party outside the formal channels. Earlier this month, his central security was revoked, making it clear that the party is taking a firm stance against leaders adopting a rebellious attitude before the upcoming elections. The move raises questions about Anupam Hazra's future within the BJP.
Anupam Hazra had previously leveled serious allegations against state BJP leaders, prompting warnings from the party to address concerns internally rather than publicly. Despite these warnings, Hazra persisted, leading to demands within the Bengal BJP for his expulsion. However, the central leadership had remained silent on the matter until Tuesday, when he was promptly removed from his position, leaving his political future in uncertainty.
