Old is Gold, Posts Dilip; BJP Has Stopped Growing in Bengal

Keywords: BJP, Dilip Ghosh, West Bengal, Old is gold

Dilip Ghosh, the former BJP president of West Bengal, recently made a statement on social media that sparked discussion and debate. Ghosh tweeted, “Old is gold,” a phrase that is often used to express the value and enduring worth of something that is old or traditional.

Ghosh’s tweet was widely interpreted as a reference to the BJP’s performance in West Bengal, where the party has faced setbacks in recent elections. The BJP had made significant gains in the state in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, winning 18 of the 42 seats, but it lost ground in the 2021 state assembly elections, winning only 77 seats out of 294.

Ghosh’s statement can be seen as a criticism of the BJP’s current leadership in Bengal, which he believes has failed to build on the party’s earlier gains. He may also be suggesting that the party has lost touch with its core values and principles.

The statement is also a reminder of the challenges facing the BJP in Bengal. The party is still relatively new to the state, and it is facing stiff competition from the Trinamool Congress, which has been in power for more than a decade. The BJP will need to make significant changes if it wants to make further gains in the state.

Ghosh’s statement has raised questions about the future of the BJP in Bengal. Some analysts believe that the party has reached a plateau and that it will be difficult to make further gains. Others believe that the party can still make a comeback if it can find a way to connect with voters and address their concerns.

The BJP’s performance in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections will be a key test for the party’s future in Bengal. The party will need to win back voters who have deserted it if it wants to improve its performance from 2019. The outcome of the elections will also provide a clearer picture of the party’s prospects in the state.
