A day after Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly met West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, state BJP chief Dilip Ghosh said a successful person like him should enter politics. He added that his party was ready to take along everyone in its fight against the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).

While speaking to the reporters, Ghosh said that Sourav Ganguly has every right to meet the Governor as he is the former captain of the Indian [men’s] cricket team and now the president of BCCI. While appealing to people to join the BJP, he said, a successful person like Ganguly should join politics.

With West Bengal Assembly elections due next year, speculation is rife that Ganguly may join the saffron party. After the meeting on Sunday, Dhankhar said he interacted with the former cricketer on “varied issues” and announced that he accepted Ganguly’s offer to visit the Eden Gardens. He had reached Raj Bhavan at around 4.30 pm and the meeting lasted for an hour. 

Asking reporters not to speculate about the visit, Ganguly said he had come to invite the Governor to the Eden Gardens as he has never visited the stadium.
