Dilip Ghosh, former Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief, was warned by the party\u2019s headquarters in Delhi, saying that he had \u201ccaused embarrassment\u201d to the central leadership by his comments. A letter sent to Ghosh yesterday \u2013 which was signed by the BJP headquarters in charge Arun Singh \u2013 the party told him that he had been told to be careful about making controversial statements in the past as well \u201cin the fond hope that you will take note\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ghosh, who is a national vice president of the party, had publicly criticised Sukanta Majumdar, the party\u2019s current Bengal chief, in April this year. \u201cSukanta Majumdar is less experienced. The party has been fighting for long and there are experienced senior leaders\u2026 They should be used to fight in the state,\u201d Dilip Ghosh was quoted saying to journalists.<\/p>\n
The letter from the party headquarters mentions that \u201cIn [a] recent interview, your comments in the electronic media and perhaps on other forums have been openly critical of senior state functionaries. Such comments will only hurt and harm the party and negate your own hard work in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
The letter further states that while his \u201ccommitment to the party has been absolute, there have been some avoidable instances when some of your statements or outbursts have anguished the state party leaders and have also caused embarrassment to the central leadership.\u201d It said that the national leadership is \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d about such statements. It states that the instruction comes from the national party president JP Nadda that Ghosh would understand the sensitivity of the situation and remain \u201cdiscreet in your dealings with the\u2026 media or any public fora\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
