Sourav Ganguly's appointment as Tripura Tourism's Brand Ambassador sparks fresh rumours over his 'closeness to BJP'

Cricket icon and former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has been appointed the brand ambassador of Tripura tourism. The announcement came after Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury travelled to Kolkata to meet ‘dada‘ at his residence. As soon as the announcement was made, celebrations began at the Bharatiya Janata Party office in West Bengal’s Hugli, leading to speculations if the cricket icon’s selection and distribution of sweets by the BJP had a connection.
