"Committees have been formed from the district level to the block level in Birbhum without consulting me. Hence, I made such a request," he told reporters later.

BJP's national general secretary Anupam Hazra said it was a matter of concern if a person like Mondal steps away from organisational work.

"Those who helm the organisation now should bring back old and seasoned warhorses like Dudhkumar Mondal, show them due respect and give importance and put them in the front row of the party," Hazra said in a Facebook post.

BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar said appropriate steps will be taken in regard to Mondal's statement.

TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said such comments show how BJP functionaries are getting disillusioned.
