Bengali Actor Saayoni Ghosh Appointed As President Of Trinamool Congress' Youth Wing

On Saturday, Bengali actor Saayoni Ghosh was appointed as the president of the All India Trinamool Youth Congress' youth wing.

In February 2021, actor Saayoni Ghosh had joined the TMC, in the presence of Mamata Banerjee, in Dunlop. She was contesting from Asansol. However, as soon as the news was out, actor Sreelekha Mitra said that Saayoni Ghosh had 'sold herself.'

"Sreelekhadi is my senior but it is beneath my dignity to comment on this. I will always speak out against any wrong. That is irrespective of my political leanings. I am comparatively brave and still don’t regret my protest as an actor when ‘Bhobisyoter Bhoot’ had problems with screening," said actor Saayoni Ghosh, while reacting to Mitra's remark.

Ghosh had even contested for the West Bengal elections, in March this year, but was defeated.

Purnendu Bose, a veteran leader of the TMC will now serve as the president of the party's farmers' wing. Meanwhile, first-time MLA and former film director Raj Chakraborty was made in charge of the TMC's cultural cell.
