Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh faced consequences within his party after he openly praised BJP‘s Lok Sabha candidate Tapas Ray, leading to his removal from the post of state general secretary.

Ghosh’s public endorsement of Ray at a local event caused a stir among TMC members, with the party taking swift action in distancing itself from his statements.

The Trinamool Congress issued a statement highlighting that Ghosh’s remarks were personal and did not reflect the party’s official stance, leading to his removal from the key position.

Ghosh’s history within the TMC, including his past as a Rajya Sabha member and his vocal opinions on party dynamics, added complexity to the situation.

Calcutta North, where the events unfolded, has been a focal point for political strategies, with candidates like Sudip Bandopadhyay and Tapas Ray at the center of attention.

Key figures within the TMC, such as Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee, have been influential in shaping the party’s direction and addressing internal challenges.

The Left Front‘s presence in the region, alongside the backdrop of the Saradha Chit Fund scandal and subsequent investigations, has contributed to the political landscape where Ghosh’s actions occurred.

Ghosh’s journey from a journalist to a party functionary, and his involvement in different controversies over the years, underscores the intricate dynamics of party politics in the region.
