The Trinamool Congress on Wednesday removed Kunal Ghosh from the post of general secretary hours after the TMC leader was seen at a non-political event in the city with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kolkata North candidate Tapas Roy.
“Kunal Ghosh has been expressing views that don’t align with the party… Mr. Ghosh was previously relieved from his role as party spokesperson. Now he has been removed from the position of general secretary of the state organisation,” the TMC said in a statement.
The statement signed by TMC’s Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien, also asked media outlets not to conflate Mr. Ghosh’s views with those of the party and warned that this might invite legal action.
