Saayoni Ghosh, a Trinamool Congress MP and actor, denied any ownership link to a Kolkata flat allegedly tied to party leader Abhishek Banerjee [1].
The denial comes amid allegations that the property was jointly owned by the two political figures. Because the claims involve high-ranking members of the Trinamool Congress, the row highlights internal and external pressures regarding transparency and political targeting in West Bengal.
Ghosh said the allegations are politically motivated attacks intended to defame her [1]. She said that an inspection conducted by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation cleared her of any involvement in the property row [5]. According to Ghosh, the inspection revealed that the flat actually belongs to another couple [6].
Beyond the property dispute, Ghosh has sought action over allegations involving a death threat [4]. She said she would pursue legal action against those spreading false claims about her assets and her relationship with Banerjee [1].
Ghosh continues to maintain that the rumors are an attempt to create a narrative of corruption where no evidence exists [3]. The actor-politician said the truth behind the flat row is now clear following the official municipal review [3].
“Saayoni Ghosh denied any ownership link to a Kolkata flat allegedly tied to party leader Abhishek Banerjee.”
This dispute underscores the volatile nature of political messaging in West Bengal, where property and asset allegations are frequently used to undermine the credibility of leaders. By citing a municipal inspection, Ghosh is attempting to shift the narrative from a political scandal to a matter of verified administrative record.
