Who is Saayoni Ghosh? Once a Mamata ally, now in focus over ‘joining’ TMC rebel camp

Saayoni Ghosh, a prominent Trinamool Congress MP, is believed to have sided with the party's rebel faction, intensifying the internal crisis within the Trinamool Congress. Ghosh, a key leader and former ally of Mamata Banerjee, has not publicly confirmed the move. She was a vocal supporter of Mamata Banerjee and a strong voice against the Bharatiya Janata Party during the West Bengal election campaign. Ghosh built her career as a Bengali actor before entering active politics and joined the Trinamool Congress ahead of the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections.
