Nabin tells West Bengal BJP ministers that party should not interfere in government functioning
BJP president Nitin Nabin visited West Bengal to emphasize the need for a clear separation between party organization and government administration. The move comes as the party prepares for upcoming by-polls and civic elections.
Why it matters
It reflects internal efforts to professionalize governance and avoid the centralization of power often criticized in previous political regimes.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Nabin’s two-day visit to West Bengal focussed on creating synergy between the party and the Government. The visit comes ahead of by-polls to two Assembly seats, Rejinagar and Nandigram. The party is also gearing up for civic polls after the Durga Pujas.
Mr. Nabin arrived in the State on Sunday, where he participated in a number of organisational meetings.
West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said Mr. Nabin made it clear during a high-level meeting with the State Council of Ministers that “ministers should perform their respective roles and that the party organisation should not interfere in the functioning of the Government”.
