Hours After Quitting As Youth Wing Chief, Bengal BJP MP Withdraws Resignation

Saumitra Khan claimed leaders of just one or two districts are running the entire organisation in the state.

Hours after resigning as BJP's Bengal youth wing chief and taking to Facebook to launch a blistering attack on the state party leadership, MP Saumitra Khan on Wednesday decided to withdraw his resignation after senior party leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah intervened and assured to look into his grievances. Earlier in the evening, the growing discord in the BJP's Bengal unit came to the fore as Mr Khan stepped down from the BJYM post and attacked Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, claiming that he tries to take credit for all the achievements. He also slammed state BJP president Dilip Ghosh. At around 9 PM, he again took to Facebook to inform that he had decided to withdraw his resignation. "I take an opportunity to inform that under instruction of our BJP leaders BL Santhosh Ji,Amit Shah Ji and Tejasvi Surya Ji, I withdraw my resignation as a mark of respect," he said in an another Facebook post.
