Sourav Ganguly will be the face of the BJP in West Bengal

- It can't last long, said Trinamool Congress leader

- Earlier, he had rejected the BJP leadership

Kolkata 25th November 2020 Wednesday

The BJP had fielded former Indian cricket captain and top player Sourav Ganguly as its face for the West Bengal Assembly elections. Earlier, however, Sourav denied to the BJP leadership that he was interested in cricket, not in politics, so do not involve me in election politics, please ...

Attempts were also made to persuade Sourav when Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid a two-day visit to West Bengal. But the talk was not frozen. This time Sourav was reported to have said yes.

However, in response, Trinamool Congress MP Saugat Roy said that even if Sourav joins the BJP, it will not last long. I am fully aware of its nature and thoughts. BJP's policy will not suit Sourav. "I don't like Sourav getting into politics," Roy added. Sourav is an icon for every Bengali. He has been the undisputed king of cricket. It doesn't work in politics. It also has no background in politics. That is why he cannot stay with BJP for long.
