Rationale
Central assertion: LoP Ritabrata Banerjee submitted a representation; his June 22 Kolkata delegates' meeting elected a new party head and deputy and formed a 30-member national executive the same day. Confirmed — Ritabrata is LoP, the June 22 meeting elected a new chairperson (Arup Roy) and deputy chairperson and constituted a 30-member National Working Committee. 'President/vice-president' vs 'chairperson/deputy chairperson' is terminology for the same posts, not a substantive contradiction.
