A sharp debate erupted over Smriti Irani's return as BJP General Secretary, with political analyst Ashutosh arguing that she will face significant pressure in an organisational role that demands behind-the-scenes consensus-building. Hitting back, BJP leader Tuhin Sinha defended Irani's comeback, calling her a proven mass leader capable of taking on the Opposition and arguing that the BJP's new team blends aggression, experience and grassroots organisational strength.
