BJP President poll on January 20

Agartala, Jan 19, 2025, By Our Correspondent

Agartala: Jan 19: The election for the President of the BJP's Agartala (City) District is heating up, with four candidates from different factions throwing their hats into the ring. The contenders include Asim Bhattacharya, the current president looking to retain his position, and strong challengers Sukanta Ghosh, Sukanta Pal, and Tapas Deb, each with their own base of support within the party ¹.

This election is not just about leadership, but also reflects the internal dynamics and power plays within the BJP in Tripura. Bhattacharya's incumbency gives him an edge, but the other candidates' strong backing from various party wings, including the OBC Morcha, adds unpredictability to the race.

The BJP is expected to announce the final decision by Monday evening, putting an end to the suspense surrounding this high-stakes election. The outcome will likely have significant implications for the party's internal politics and its future direction in Tripura.
