Bengal BJP considers women contenders for leadership change

The BJP in West Bengal is considering a leadership change, with former MP Locket Chatterjee and MLA Agnimitra Paul as top contenders to replace current chief Sukanta Majumdar. Both women are known for their assertive yet non-controversial styles. Chatterjee and Paul have strong support from Suvendu Adhikari, the Leader of Opposition. Despite losing the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, both remain influential figures in the party. A third candidate, Amitava Chakravorty, is also in the running. The final decision on the new Bengal BJP President is still uncertain. The party's history of unexpected appointments suggests that a surprise candidate could emerge.
