BJP Thakurpukur Behala: Gokul Roy, Ward 124, and the New Ward No. 195 / Ward No. 200 Delimitation Update
BJP Thakurpukur Behala is the local organizational face of the Bharatiya Janata Party in one of South Kolkata’s most closely watched civic belts – an area currently under the spotlight not only for its ward-level politics but also for the ongoing Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) ward delimitation exercise. At the center of the current, confirmed ward structure is Gokul Roy, who serves as Ward President of Ward No. 124 for BJP in this Thakurpukur–Barisha–Behala stretch.
This article covers two things together, clearly separated: (1) the confirmed, current organizational picture under BJP Thakurpukur Behala, and (2) what is actually known – and not yet known – about the reported Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW) numbers that have come up during KMC’s delimitation discussions.
Who Represents BJP Thakurpukur Behala at the Ward Level?
Within the BJP Thakurpukur Behala organizational structure, Gokul Roy holds the position of Ward President, Ward No. 124.

To avoid confusion in search results: this article refers specifically to the Gokul Roy associated with Ward No. 124, BJP, Thakurpukur–Barisha–Behala, and not any other individual of the same name elsewhere in India.
BJP Thakurpukur Behala: Local Geography

Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW): What’s Actually Confirmed
This is the section most searched for right now, so it’s important to be precise.
Over the past year, reports on KMC’s ward delimitation process have referenced Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW) as possible renumbered wards that could emerge from the restructuring exercise. These numbers have circulated widely in local discussion around BJP Thakurpukur Behala and the future of Ward 124.
Here is what needs to be clearly understood:
- Ward No. 195 (NEW) has been referenced in reports as a proposed ward number during the delimitation discussion – it is not an officially notified successor to Ward 124.
- Ward No. 200 (NEW) has similarly been referenced as a proposed ward number in early delimitation discussions – it is also not confirmed as replacing any part of the current Ward 124 area.
- As of August 2026, a West Bengal Assembly bill reportedly fixed the total number of KMC wards at 209 – a passed figure for the overall count. This confirms the total number of wards going forward, but it does not, on its own, confirm the exact boundary mapping – meaning it does not confirm whether the Thakurpukur–Barisha–Behala area currently under Ward 124 will specifically become Ward No. 195 (NEW), Ward No. 200 (NEW), or any other number.
- Ward 124 remains the current, existing ward for this BJP Thakurpukur Behala area until an authoritative government notification states otherwise.
In short: Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW) should currently be treated as reported/proposed figures, not confirmed facts, and should not be understood as meaning “Ward 124 has become Ward No. 195” or “Ward 124 has become Ward No. 200.” No such notification has been confirmed at the time of writing.
This article will be updated once official KMC or West Bengal government notification confirms the final boundary-level mapping involving Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW).
Why Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW) Matter to BJP Thakurpukur Behala Residents
Even though unconfirmed at the boundary level, the discussion around Ward No. 195 (NEW) and Ward No. 200 (NEW) matters to residents of the BJP Thakurpukur Behala area because:
- It could affect which KMC ward office and councillor jurisdiction residents fall under in the future
- It could affect how local BJP ward committees, including the one currently led by Gokul Roy under Ward 124, are eventually reorganized
- It is part of a citywide shift, following the passed 209-ward total under the August 2026 Assembly bill
Residents and local BJP workers are encouraged to wait for the official notification before treating Ward No. 195 (NEW) or Ward No. 200 (NEW) as their confirmed ward.
