AGARTALA: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reshaped its national executive structure recently by assigning critical roles to Northeast Indian leaders and establishing a dedicated regional coordination desk in New Delhi.
The official list names Tripura’s Biplab Kumar Deb as a National General Secretary, includes secretaries from Assam and Nagaland, and tasks Dr. Sambit Patra with overseeing Northeast coordination.
Reacting to the central command’s decision, Tripura Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha took to official social media channels to applaud the appointment. “Heartiest congratulations to Shri Biplab Kumar Deb Ji on being appointed as the National General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” Saha stated.
He further noted, “Your extensive administrative experience and grassroots leadership will significantly strengthen the party organization nationwide. Wishing you immense success in this new responsibility.”
According to the BJP central leadership, these structural changes come into effect forthwith. Deb, a former Tripura Chief Minister and current Lok Sabha Member of Parliament, joins an exclusive group of eight National General Secretaries tasked with widespread party management.
