They have to make this decision. ‘ However, there has been no statement from BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly on this issue.

BJP wants to make Ganguly the CM face!
There is also a discussion in the political circles for the last several months that the BJP wants to include Sourav Ganguly in the party and make him the face of the Chief Minister’s post in West Bengal. Actually, BJP does not have such a strong personality as compared to Mamata Banerjee which she can go ahead and get stronger in the election. All the big leaders of BJP say that a Bengali will become the Chief Minister here, not an outsider, if he wins the election. In such a situation, the speculation of Sourav Ganguly joining BJP is gaining strength. However, both BJP and Ganguly have been calling these speculations wrong.
