How Sukanta Majumdar became the BJP Bengal chief

The BJP on Monday replaced Dilip Ghosh as its West Bengal unit president with Lok Sabha MP from Balurghat, Sukanta Majumdar. Let's take a deep dive into how Sukanta Majumdar became the BJP Bengal chief.

Late on Monday evening, came a not-so-unexpected yet surprise announcement for the Bharatiya Janata Party's Bengal unit.
