Don’t raise demands of Bengal division in public, Nadda to party leaders

Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) president J.P. Nadda on Thursday asked party leaders including MPs and MLAs not raise demands relating to divisions of West Bengal in public domain.

Mr. Nadda said that such issues can be discussed in party forum. A number of BJP leaders including MP and MLAs have been raising demand of creation of separate State particularly from areas of north Bengal or State’s Jangalmahal region.

 Hours before Mr. Nadda told the BJP leaders at a closed door meeting not to speak about such emotive issues in public, Kurseong MLA Bishnu Prasad Sharma on Thursday said that “his agenda remains creation of a separate State in north Bengal”.
