In the presence of West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar and his predecessor Dilip Ghosh, a dispute broke out between the two factions.
Both Majumdar and Ghosh later, while talking to the media, tried to downplay the incident and emphasized that the BJP was behind the new leadership of the state.
Majumdar blamed “Trinamool Congress agents” for the uproar.
“TMC had sent agents to harass us in our meeting. We will identify the troublemakers,” Majumdar said, reported PTI.
The ruckus took place after two BJP leaders reached Daihat in Katwa for the party’s organizational meeting.
