BJP national (organization) general secretary BL Santosh arrived in Tripura on a two-day visit on Tuesday.

His visit is being observed as critical in terms of the current political situation of Tripura.

Speculations are high that the ruling party BJP would soon get a new state president and go through another round of organizational reshuffle.

According to the party insiders, BL Santosh is scheduled to hold various meetings with the ministers, state leaders and MLAs to discuss the election process for a new state president.
Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha is currently holding the position of state BJP president.
However, Dr. Saha will have to relinquish the position, as it would not be possible for him to run the party, ministry and administration at the same time.

It would be a very difficult task especially in the election year. The former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, who was the BJP Tripura president during the spectacular win of BJP ending the long communist rule in 2018, met the BJP national general secretary on July 20.
Biplab Deb also met several Union Ministers during his Delhi visit.

Thus, it is highly anticipated that the central leadership will consider such various aspects while choosing the BJP president in view of the 2023 assembly polls in Tripura.

BL Santosh also might discuss various organizational matters including the Village Committee elections that need to be completed by November.
