IN PICS| 'Will Be Ready To Fly Soon', BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly After Recovering From Mild Heart Attack

Recently, Arvind Menon, one of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) central observers for Bengal, reportedly said, “Sourav Ganguly is the pride of the nation. He is Bengal’s Tiger. If he joins the BJP, we will welcome him by laying out a carpet strewn with flowers.” (Image: PTI)

Ashok Bhattacharya, a Cabinet Minister in the Left Front Government and senior leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) who is known to be close to the former Indian skipper, said the heart attack may have been precipitated by “political pressure” being put on Sourav by a particular political party.
