BJP president JP Nadda on Tuesday removed West Bengal leader Anupam Hazra from the post of the party's national secretary.
A former Lok Sabha MP, Anupam Hazra has been critical of the party's functioning in the state for some time.
The BJP's decision came on a day when Mr Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah were in Kolkata for a host of political programmes.
Mr Hazra's removal from the post is being seen as a message to dissidents within the party to stick to organisational discipline and toe the leadership's line.
