Union Minister exits BJP WhatsApp groups

Earlier this week, Union Minister and Bangaon MP Shantanu Thakur quit a number of WhatsApp groups of the State BJP, triggering speculation of rift among the party.
“I am getting this feeling that those who are at the helm of affairs of the West Bengal BJP do not require me or the support of the Matua community,” Mr. Thakur said.
The leaders of the Matua community, including Mr. Thakur who heads the Matua Mahasangha, have been demanding representation of leaders from the community in the committees of the State BJP.
