Saayoni Ghosh, a Member of Parliament from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), addressed a property controversy that implicated her and senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee. Ghosh stated that a recent inspection by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) clarified that the flat at '19B 7 Tanks Lane, Kolkata 30' is owned by Abhishek Bandhopadhaya and his wife, Sayani Ghosh, a school teacher. The similarity in names led to speculation and what Ghosh described as a politically motivated smear campaign. She emphasized that the couple provided valid ownership documents during the KMC's verification process and expressed disappointment over the media attention surrounding the issue. Ghosh criticized the situation as an unnecessary media trial and harassment, alleging that it was part of a vendetta against her and Banerjee. The controversy arose amidst broader accusations against TMC leaders regarding unauthorized constructions, with senior BJP leaders fueling the speculation. Additionally, Ghosh is currently in the spotlight due to a separate incident involving an alleged death threat from a BJP leader.
