BJP women's wing president in West Bengal Agnimitra Paul said on Sunday she has been diagnosed with COVID-19, and requested people who came in touch with her recently to get themselves tested.
Agnimitra Paul, who is also a well-known fashion designer, had been touring districts regularly to lead street protests and undertake campaigns against the ruling TMC.
She attended party programmes at state BJP headquarters earlier this week.
"I have been diagnosed as Covid Positive. I would request everyone who has met me in the last 5 days to get...tested. Thank You," Agnimitra Paul wrote on Facebook.
Earlier this month, BJP MPs Sukanta Majumdar and Jayanta Roy had tested positive for the disease.
