Posters target BJP leader Anupam Bhattacharya amid internal rift in South Kolkata

The internal conflict within South Kolkata’s BJP has escalated further as posters against organizational district president Anupam Bhattacharya appeared outside the Bidhannagar party office late at night. This comes within 48 hours of an ink attack on Bhattacharya, triggering fresh tensions within the party. The posters labeled him a "TMC agent" and demanded his immediate removal. The identity of those behind the posters remains unknown, but the incident has intensified discussions on factional differences within the BJP.

Party insiders indicate that tensions have been brewing for months, with disagreements over leadership roles and organizational control. The ink attack on Sunday had already caused division among party workers, and the latest poster incident has further deepened the crisis. While no official statement has been issued, sources suggest that a section of BJP leaders is unhappy with Bhattacharya’s leadership and want a change in the district unit. Security around the Bidhannagar party office has been tightened following the incident.

BJP’s state leadership has not yet commented on the matter. However, the developments come at a crucial time for the party in South Kolkata, where internal unity is being closely watched. Local leaders and party workers remain divided over the recent incidents, with speculation growing over possible further escalations.
