Overview
- The BJP named Abhishek Debroy as president of its Tripura unit in a letter from national general secretary Arun Singh that said the appointment takes effect immediately.
- Debroy is a first-term MLA from the Matarbari assembly constituency in Gomati district and previously led the party’s Gomati district unit.
- He replaces Rajib Bhattacharjee, who served as state party chief since 2022 and continues to serve as a Rajya Sabha member after his 2024 election to the upper house.
- Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha and outgoing president Rajib Bhattacharjee publicly congratulated Debroy on the appointment.
- State unit presidents handle candidate coordination and grassroots mobilisation, so the change reflects a routine, centrally directed organisational reshuffle as the BJP refreshes its state leadership ahead of future electoral cycles.
