While the Central leaders, in their meeting with the state's top leaders on Wednesday, had stressed on the need to put up a united and cohesive fight, they had also made it clear that nobody who tried to rock the boat would be tolerated, sources present in the meeting said, pointing to the sacking of national secretary Anupam Hazra within minutes of the meeting ending. At that meeting, Bengal leaders had reiterated how Hazra's intemperate comments were embarrassing the party.
It is also keeping an eye on factionalism in the party. Over the past three months, supporters have staged demonstrations outside BJP offices to protest biased appointments, which, they alleged, were made against "monetary considerations". Bengal BJP leaders also met BL Santhosh, national general secretary (organisation), in Kolkata.
