Was Sourav Ganguly under pressure to join politics?

Senior CPI (M) leader Ashok Bhattacharya who has been a longtime family friend of BCCI President and former cricketer Sourav Ganguly, has claimed that Ganguly was under pressure to join politics which probably exerted pressure on him.

Some people wanted to use Ganguly politically. That probably exerted pressure on him. He is not a political element. He should be known as Sourav the sporting icon," Bhattacharya was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
