AGARTALA : BJP’s Northeast coordinator Sambit Patra has exhorted the party’s state leadership to hold all key organisational meetings every month to further strengthen the organisation, a party leader said on Monday.

The directive came during a core committee meeting held at the party headquarters here, which was attended by Patra, Chief Minister Manik Saha, state BJP president Abhishek Debroy and other senior leaders.

Talking to reporters, Debroy said the core committee emphasised the need to hold meetings of the core committee, district units and mandals every month.

“The core committee also decided to constitute the state and district-level party committees at the earliest,” he said.

The state and district committees could not be reconstituted for over a year due to a stalemate over the election of the state BJP president.

Debroy, an MLA from Matabari Assembly constituency, was appointed state BJP president on May 28.

He said there was no discussion on the electoral understanding with Tipra Motha ahead of the village committee elections.

Earlier in the day, Patra met the chief minister at his official residence and discussed organisational issues related to the state, which is set to go to polls for the village committees under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) in September.

“BJP’s Northeast Coordinator Sambit Patra, along with party state president Abhishek Debroy, had a fruitful discussion on organisational issues. We exchanged views on how to further enhance the organisational strength and make it more people-centric,” Saha wrote in a Facebook post. (Source: PTI)
