After visiting a Durga Puja in Kolkata's Beliaghata area in the locality of BJP worker Abhijit Sarkar, Ghosh said, 'Several workers of our party who have been killed actively participated in Durga Puja celebrations last year in their areas. I have visited this neighbourhood Durga Puja to be with his family. I have assured them that Abhijit will get justice. During puja, we remember our workers more.'

BJP MLA and Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly Suvendu Adhikari had visited the pandal on Satruday. He later tweeted, 'Overwhelmed by the grief at this Durga Puja in Beleghata, Kolkata.
