BJP South Kolkata District President attacked, chairs thrown and ink hurled amid internal strife

In South Kolkata, there was chaos during a BJP program, with chairs being broken and ink thrown. The internal conflict within the BJP became evident with the selection of the district president. West Bengal will hold its assembly elections in 2026, and amidst this atmosphere, Sukanta Majumdar, Dilip Ghosh, and Suvendu Adhikari have set aside their differences to unite. This time, the internal strife reached a peak.

The ongoing new-old conflict within the Bengal BJP was visible in South Kolkata. BJP South Kolkata district president Anupam Bhattacharya was brutally attacked by party workers, and the video of the incident went viral on social media. However, Taaza TV has not confirmed this. During the incident, a state of panic ensued, causing the event to be canceled.

On Sunday, a reception was organized in the Anandnagar Bazaar area under the Thakurpukur police station. A welcome ceremony was held for BJP South Kolkata district president Anupam Bhattacharya. However, violent clashes were reported between BJP workers and supporters. Allegedly, chairs were thrown between the two factions. The situation escalated further, and the question was raised as to why long-time workers were not being given active membership. The situation became heated when the throwing of chairs began. There were even allegations that ink was thrown at one of Anupam Bhattacharya's followers. It became evident how such a situation could impact the elections.

A few days ago, posters were put up against BJP South Kolkata district president Anupam Bhattacharya. As soon as this feeling of discomfort subsided, the internal party conflict took a serious turn. The situation escalated to the point that the South Kolkata district BJP president lodged a police complaint about this incident. It is believed that this has further tarnished the party's reputation. Factional conflicts have emerged in every district, and this time, their fire reached South Kolkata. This has become a topic of much discussion.

The state BJP leadership has also been informed about this incident. However, there are several allegations against South Kolkata district BJP president Anupam Bhattacharya. A section of the party's early workers claims that Anupam Bhattacharya had given them positions in exchange for money and other valuable items. Posters were put up across the South Kolkata party office and surrounding areas. The scuffle that took place during the BJP program on Sunday evening exposed the internal conflict even more clearly. The saffron camp is uncomfortable with this.
