BJP dissent out in the open, leaders slam ‘poster culture’

KOLKATA: Posters and cutouts calling Bengal BJP (organization) secretary Amitava Chakraborty bibhishan (enemy within) and election strategist Prashant Kishor’s agent appeared on Monday at several places in central and north Kolkata like Shyambazar, Jorasanko and Esplanade and also near the BJP state headquarters at Muralidhar Sen Lane on Central Avenue.

This comes two days after junior Union minister Shantanu Thakur threw a challe- nge to Chakraborty following a meet with rebel leaders.

Monday’s posters carried the print line ‘BJP Bachao Karmi Brinda’, a faceless platform to record dissent. On Saturday, Bengal BJP spokesperson Shamik Bhattacharya had criticized posters against Chakraborty pasted on railway compartments in Bongaon-bound trains.
