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. Reacting to the press statement issued by the TMC, Mr. Ghosh accused accused his party of double standards and said that when actor and MP Dipak Adhikari alias Dev extended a political courtesy to Mithun Chakraborty who is campaigning for the BJP no action was taken.
