Bengal BJP MP tests positive for Covid

West Bengal BJP MP Locket Chatterjee tested Covid-19 positive. She had tested negative in the first test done a few days ago. Chatterjee, who has been active even a week ago, was admitted to a nursing home. The BJP headquarters on Murlidhar Sen Lane, however, remains open as the preparations are afoot for the July 6 virtual rally of party president JP Nadda. Party office staff, who stay at the headquarters, will continue to remain there, sources said. “We have not closed the office, but movement is restricted and nobody is going there unless it is urgent,” said Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh.
