Ahead of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly elections early next year, the state is currently witnessing a tumultuous political landscape, with veteran leaders weighing their options, trajectories and political futures, before jumping ships to the next favourable option.
Amid all this, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed seven high-profile observers for West Bengal, who are meant to oversee the party functions in the several assemblies of the state. These seven observers are high-profile leaders, hand-picked by the BJP central administration.
Five of the seven BJP observers for West Bengal are Union Ministers, with the two others being the Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and the Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh, respectively.
