In April, Mr Ghosh, who is now the National Vice President of BJP, had publicly criticised his successor Sukanta Majumdar's handling of party affairs in the state, where the party had lost the election last year to Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.

"Sukanta Majumdar is less experienced. The party has been fighting for long and there are experienced veterans...They should be put up to fight in the state," Mr Ghosh had told reporters.
