She joined Trinamool Congress on 24 February 2021. In March 2021, she was announced to be Trinamool Congress’s candidate for the Asansol South constituency in the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.[5] But, she was defeated by BJP's candidate Agnimitra Paul.[6]

She was appointed the "president of the youth wing of Trinamool Congress" in June-2021, after Abhishek Banerjee has been relieved of the duty.[1] The Enforcement Directorate had questioned her on 30 June 2023 for 11 hours, in connection with its investigation into the 2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam.[7] In the 2024 Indian general election, she contested and won from Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency as a Trinamool candidate,[8] with a margin of more than 2.5 lakhs votes.[9][10][11]

Controversies

[edit | edit source]
  • On 21 November 2021, Ghosh was arrested by the Tripura Police while campaigning for the Trinamool Congress in Agartala. She was charged with attempt to murder and promoting enmity between groups, following allegations that she tried to drive her vehicle into a gathering of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters at a rally attended by Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb. According to the first information report, Ghosh and her associates allegedly used offensive language, threw stones at the crowd, and caused panic among attendees, resulting in minor injuries to some BJP workers.[12][13]
  • In 2021, an old tweet from Ghosh’s Twitter account dating back to February 2015 resurfaced and sparked controversy. The tweet featured an image of a condom being placed on a Shivling, a sacred Hindu symbol, and was posted around the time of Maha Shivratri. The post was widely criticized as offensive and disrespectful by several individuals and groups. Former Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy filed a police complaint against Ghosh in Kolkata, alleging that the tweet hurt religious sentiments. Ghosh responded by stating that her account had been hacked at the time and issued an apology for the content.[14]
  • On 4 January 2024 Saayoni attended in a public meeting in Bardhaman and claimed that Mamata Banerjee founded the historic Curzon Gate as a part of development.[15] This statement was highly criticised by the opponents political leaders.[16]
  • She is on the radar of Enforcement Directorate over her alleged involvement in 2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam,[17] and on 30 June 2024, she was questioned by ED officials for 10 hours.[18][19]
