Although the state BJP leadership, including figures like State President Shamik Bhattacharya, share a consensus on Ghosh’s value, it is ultimately the central leadership in Delhi that will determine his future role. The ongoing question in political circles is whether Delhi will re-appoint the former state president to the state committee or assign him to another crucial post.

In a recent meeting at the state BJP office in Salt Lake, Ghosh, in his signature candid style, declared that despite lacking an official party position and facing the impending end of his tenure as MP in 2024, he still maintains his relevance in Bengal’s political arena. “I still have a price in the market,” Ghosh remarked, signaling that he has not been sidelined completely, despite his diminishing visibility. His consistent assertion that he has not lost his relevance in the state speaks volumes about his self-assuredness and potential political maneuvering.

However, the critical question remains: Is Dilip Ghosh about to receive a new political responsibility? Will the party grant him a place back in the central or state committee? Responding to this uncertainty in the past, Ghosh stated, “Let’s see how the party wants. I have previously contested in the assembly and Lok Sabha, and I will do whatever is needed for the party’s needs.” His willingness to adapt to the party’s demands suggests that Ghosh is keeping his options open, awaiting a potential political reshuffle.

The political dynamics within the state BJP have certainly shifted since Shamik Bhattacharya assumed the role of state president. Bhattacharya’s leadership has elevated the importance of veteran party members, and one of his clear objectives is to integrate long-serving workers back into the party’s fold. Given this context, it is highly possible that Ghosh, as a prominent leader with years of experience, could be reintroduced into the political fold.

As one of the party’s strongest and most influential leaders in Bengal, Dilip Ghosh’s political trajectory is far from over. With the next assembly elections on the horizon, many are watching closely to see whether Ghosh will once again be at the forefront of West Bengal BJP’s political strategy. The coming months will likely reveal whether Ghosh’s political influence will be revived or if he will continue to play a more diminished role in state politics.
