“The pride of Bengal, the hero of India, a World Cup-winning star like Richa Ghosh, the wicketkeeper-batsman who wore the blue jersey and brought victory to the country, has now been ‘subject to judgment’ in the final electoral rolls,” the party’s post said. The statement was included.
TMC said Ghosh represented India abroad with distinction and won the admiration of all Bengalis.
“He is forced to endure this humiliating scrutiny, his name is marked, his voter status is questioned, his democratic right is hanging by a thread in this voter purge.”
Drawing parallels between prominent figures like Ghosh and ordinary people classified under the same category following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the party said, “What hope is there for the ordinary Bengali voter when even celebrities and national icons can be arbitrarily targeted, questioned and subjected to this humiliating process?” he asked. “This is a systematic humiliation designed to disenfranchise, to silence, to erase Bengali voices one by one.” he said.
The 22-year-old wicketkeeper from Siliguri was a member of India’s 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup winning team.
